Alisson has shared his thoughts on Mohamed Salah's exit from Liverpool and Neymar's decision to retire from international football. The Brazilian goalkeeper acknowledged that it's impossible to replace such players without pain, but emphasised that both club and country must move forward.
Neymar announced he would step away from the Brazil national team following the 2026 World Cup.
His last appearance for the national side was against Norway, where he came off the bench to convert a penalty, but Brazil still exited the tournament.
He leaves international football as Brazil's all-time leading scorer.
Around the same time, another significant chapter closed for Alisson as Salah departed Liverpool for Trabzonspor.
The Egyptian forward leaves Anfield with an impressive tally of 272 goals and a trophy cabinet boasting two Premier League titles and a Champions League victory.
Having played alongside both stars for years, Alisson recognised the gravity of these losses.
He reflected:
Of course, such players have brought immense value to their clubs and national teams. While they are playing, they always provide so much to the team.
But life goes on. Both in Brazil and at Liverpool.
The goalkeeper pointed out that the Reds are already beginning to build a team without Salah.
Liverpool remains a big club. We've signed new players, and we already have a very good squad.
The Brazil national team is also continuing to evolve. Everything is moving forward.
However, Alisson acknowledged that fans will need time to adjust to this new reality.
There is always room for nostalgia in football.
People will remember the fantastic moments these players provided to their fans. We will always miss them and want to relive those emotions.
For Liverpool, Salah's departure marks the end of one of the most successful periods in the club's modern history, while Brazil begins a new era without their all-time leading goalscorer.
