Club career

Cruzeiro

Born in Rio Pomba, Minas Gerais, Alisson joined Cruzeiro's youth setup in 2007, aged 13.[1] He subsequently spent a year on loan at Cabofriense's under-17 side before returning and featured for the under-17 and under-20 teams.

Alisson made his first team – and Série A – debut on 18 November 2012, coming on as a second-half substitute for Walter Montillo in a 2–0 away win over Fluminense.[2] He featured in a further two Campeonato Mineiro matches for the club before being loaned to Vasco da Gama on 18 April 2013, as a part of the deal which saw Dedé move to the opposite direction permanently.[3]

While at the Cruzmaltino, Alisson scored his first professional goal, netting the opener in a 2–0 home win over Atlético Mineiro on 5 June 2013.[4] On 6 August, however, after being rarely used, he returned to his parent club.[5]

Back to Cruzeiro, Alisson featured in just nine league matches as the club lifted the Série A title. He scored his first goal for the club on 18 March 2014, netting the third of a 3–0 Mineiro away success over Tombense.[6]

On 8 October 2016, Alisson played his 100th match for Cruzeiro, a 2–0 win over Ponte Preta.[7]

Grêmio

In January 2018, Alisson moved to Grêmio on a four-year deal, with Edílson moving in the opposite direction.[8] He made his debut for the club on 20 January, replacing Isaque in a 3–5 Campeonato Gaúcho home loss against Caxias.

Alisson scored his first goal for Tricolor on 7 February 2018, netting the equalizer in a 2–1 home win over Brasil de Pelotas. On 4 October of the following year, he renewed his contract until 2023.[9]

On 30 January 2020, Alisson played his 100th match for Grêmio, a 2–1 home win over São José-RS.[10]
