Liverpool might quickly be set to grant one participant his want to depart Merseyside for good, in line with stories from South America.
The goalkeeping pecking order in Arne Slot’s squad sees Alisson Becker cleared the path forward of Caoimhin Kelleher after which Vitezslav Jaros, with Giorgi Mamardashvili’s arrival from Valencia later this fashion including additional competitors for a spot within the beginning XI.
It’s due to this fact laborious to envisage Marcelo Pitaluga – at present on mortgage at Livingston within the Scottish Championship – overtaking so many positional friends at Anfield, and it’s trying more and more doubtless that he might transfer on with out ever making a aggressive first-team look for the Reds.
Liverpool in talks over everlasting Pitaluga switch
On Friday, Brazilian outlet UOL reported that Fluminense are in talks with Liverpool about bringing the 22-year-old again to his homeland on a everlasting foundation.
A subsequent report by O Globo famous that it was the Reds who approached the Rio de Janeiro outfit concerning the potential transfer, with the goalkeeper having knowledgeable Anfield chiefs of his want to return to Brazil.
The proposed change could be a free switch, though LFC are set to maintain 40% of the participant’s rights, thus entitling them to a portion of the price if he’s to be bought on sooner or later.
Pitaluga may gain advantage from a contemporary begin
Sadly for Pitaluga, it appears as if a breakthrough at Liverpool is extraordinarily unlikely, and never simply due to the already prolonged queue for the goalkeeping berth in Slot’s beginning XI.
His mortgage spells at St Patrick’s Athletic and Livingston resulted in simply 9 appearances throughout the whole thing of 2024, together with his solely two appearances for the latter coming within the Scottish Problem Cup (Transfermarkt).
Regardless of being hailed by compatriot Alisson as a ‘devoted’ and ‘actually gifted’ goalkeeper (liverpoolfc.com) and pulling off some gorgeous saves, the 22-year-old hasn’t been capable of make any discernible headway in his profession in Europe, so it comes as no nice shock that he’s looking for a contemporary begin again in his homeland.
It’s a disgrace that issues haven’t labored out for Pitaluga over the previous yr, and if he’s to depart Liverpool for Fluminense this month, we hope he can go on to thrive on the membership which received the Copa Libertadores as lately as November 2023.
