'Obviously now I have one year left on my contract and another year of club option, which they will probably exercise.' Alisson has won two Premier League titles with Liverpool, in addition to the Champions League, Club World Cup, FA Cup and Carabao Cup. Before moving to Italian football in 2016, he launched his career with Porto Alegre-based Internacional. Neymar, Thiago Silva and former Liverpool playmaker Philippe Coutinho are among the Brazilian stars to have recently returned to play in their homeland following successful spells in Europe.

'Each one will have their own experience but I want to return, especially to Inter. I don't know when it will happen, but I still want to do it at a high level. That's what I have planned.'
