Why Alisson and ex-Liverpool target Raphinha were pictured together
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. Advertisement 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.

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. Advertisement 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. Advertisement '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."

‘Now I steal people's attention': how a Brazilian newspaper has turned a city's rough sleepers into journalists
Every Tuesday afternoon, Michel Vasconcelos goes to an open-air market in Porto Alegre, a city in southern Brazil, his backpack full of newspapers to sell, to which he contributes words and illustrations. 'I used to steal and deal drugs,' says Vasconcelos, 43, who ended up living on the streets due to a family fall out. It was there that he got involved, nearly 10 years ago, with the project Boca de Rua (Word on the Street) and became, in his own words, a paperboy and journalist. 'Now, I steal people's attention and deal in information,' he says, flashing a smile. Boca de Rua is one of more than 90 such newspapers across 35 countries, according to the International Network of Street Papers, an anti-poverty organisation that supports these types of publications, which are typically sold by people experiencing poverty or homelessness. The Porto Alegre-based quarterlyhas the sellers responsible forcontent – from choosing article topics to reporting the stories and taking photographs. Participants have a meeting every week to collectively write the articles. They are then given a stack of about 50 newspapers, which they sell for R$3 (40p) outside shops and at traffic lights. Each vendor keeps the money they make. 'In truth, our newspaper doesn't have a price,' says Anderson Joaquim Corrêa, 45, who often receives more than 3 reais a copy. 'If you get 50 reais [£6.60] in a day, that's decent,' he says. Attendance at the meetings is a prerequisite for selling the paper, but otherwise, anyone is welcome. For most, the newspaper does much more than provide a small income: it gives them a voice. 'We weren't seen,' says Michelle Marques dos Santos, 42, who has been involved in the paper on and off since Boca de Rua launched 25 years ago, not long after she started living on the streets as a teenager. She still remembers the front page headline of the first edition, which came out during the 2001 World Social Forum: 'Voices of Invisible People'. 'Boca has helped people on the street become visible, given us a voice,' she says. 'We write about what's bothering us. We talk about violence against women, we talk about police violence, we talk about our difficulty in getting access to healthcare.' At a recent weekly meeting held near the city centre, a dozen people are discussing their coverage of a fire at a state-funded homeless shelter, which killed 11 people in April last year. Boca de Rua has reported tirelessly on the aftermath of the fire, with a public inquiry into possible negligence now under way. Its work denouncing poor conditions in the city's shelters was picked up by the mainstream press. Sign up to Global Dispatch Get a different world view with a roundup of the best news, features and pictures, curated by our global development team after newsletter promotion 'We've done the most extensive coverage on this fire, and on the floods [that devastated the city last year],' the paper's co-founder, Rosina Duarte, tells the group. A journalist by trade, Boca de Rua editor Duarte developed the idea with homeless youths in 2000. She says that about 400 people have worked at the newspaper since then. Her co-founder, Cristina Pozzobon, does the lay-out and runs the non-profit publishing organisation, Alice – but their work is hands-off, leaving members to manage editorial decisions and organise their community. 'As a group they have an impressive capacity to find solutions to problems that seem insurmountable,' says Duarte. When street sales became impossible during the Covid lockdowns, it was one of Boca's members who suggested launching online subscriptions. Starting at 10 reais a month, these now help fund printing costs. Duarte describes Boca de Rua as a newspaper made by people 'with a trajectory of homelessness', as most of the 30-odd participants have managed to leave the streets, although she stresses that is not the paper's objective. 'It's about [providing an] income and harm reduction – the harm of silence and loneliness,' she says. Despite the recognition Boca de Rua has gained locally, members still face rejection and prejudice. 'But you can't let that upset your work,' says Vasconcelos, who has moved back to his home neighbourhood. Marques dos Santos, meanwhile, rents a flat with her partner after overcoming a long struggle with drug addiction. Pregnant with her seventh child, the first she will be able to raise herself, she remains closely involved with the newspaper that has given her a sense of pride – and inspired her to write a book about her life, due to be published this year.
