Alisson linked up with Brazil teammate and Ballon d'Or contender Raphinha in South America this week as the pair attended Internacional's game against Bahia in the Copa Libertadores.
Liverpool's goalkeeper spent 14 years at Internacional across youth and senior levels between 2002 and 2016, before moving to Roma. The 32-year-old made 101 appearances for the Porto Alegre club and was warmly welcomed back for Wednesday's game.
Raphinha, who recently addressed Barcelona's interest in Luis Diaz, did not play for Internacional — he played for Vitoria before making his move to Europe with Sporting Lisbon in 2018 — but he was born in Porto Alegre.
“Your singing made the difference in tonight’s turnaround, and it was reinforced by two ‘colarados’ who played together in the stands of the Giant,” Inter wrote on its official Instagram page.
While Alisson and Raphinha are enjoying some well-deserved down time following the end of their long seasons, both players would no doubt have preferred to still be on club duty, in the Champions League final on Saturday night.
Raphinha's Barcelona was eliminated at the semi-final stage in dramatic circumstances, as Inter Milan won 7-6 on aggregate, while Liverpool was beaten on penalties at the last-16 stage by eventual finalist Paris Saint-Germain.
When Alisson returns to Liverpool over the summer, he will be greeted by fresh competition in the form of Georgia international Giorgi Mamardashvili.
Caoimhin Kelleher has played second fiddle to the Brazilian in recent seasons, but he is expected to leave Liverpool in pursuit of a first-choice role elsewhere.
Brentford is said to have approached Liverpool over the possibility of signing Kelleher, while Bayer Leverkusen — now managed by Erik ten Hag — is also being linked with a bid.
Amid links with a move to the Saudi Pro League, Alisson said last year that he wants to honor his contract with Liverpool, which runs until 2027. “I want to honor my contract and finish my contract here or make a new one. I am really happy here. My family is happy,” he said.
“I never got to the point [in discussions with the Saudi Pro League] where I was talking about wages and things like this. It was just interest, but when you hear about the [wages] the other players are getting you are a little bit attracted. That is normal.
“At the end of the day, you play football for love, it is the thing you like to do, but it is our profession and we want to use the years that we have to make the most of it. I think I am open to that personally but not now. Now is not the time.”
Kelleher made it clear at the beginning of the season that he wants to be a first-choice goalkeeper. "I've made it clear in the last few years that I want to go and be a number one and play week in, week out," Kelleher said last September.
"The club's made that decision to get another goalkeeper and from the outside looking in, it looks like they've made a decision to go in a different direction.
"Sometimes from the outside looking in, it looks like that's 100% my decision but at times it's not always in my hand. It's been reported that Liverpool have rejected a few bids as well. My ambition is clear that I think I'm good enough and I want to go out and prove it."
