Marcelo Pitaluga has said goodbye to Fluminense on social media as the goalkeeper is closes in a move to Liverpool.
The 17-year-old can follow the footsteps of his fellow keeper Alisson Backer, becoming a "world-class' player at Anfield once he joins Jurgen Klopp's side. The teenage sensation will sign a long-term contract with the Reds, after the two sides reached an agreement on a £2 million fee.
And ahead of his dream move to Liverpool, Pitaluga shared his gratitude towards Fluminense, writing on
Instagram.
“I am very grateful to Fluminense,” the Brazil youth star wrote.
“I spent 10 years at this club, from playing futsal, passing through until I reached the professional ranks. I have always been treated very well and had all the assistance necessary for my development, both personally and as an athlete.
“This opportunity will be very important to me. It was a unique opportunity.”
