Liverpool goalkeeper Marcelo Pitaluga, who is currently on loan at Livingston, could return to Brazil to sign for former club Fluminense in January, according to reports in his homeland.

Now 22, Pitaluga has also spent time on loan at Macclesfield and St Patrick’s Athletic.

The Brazilian outlet UOL says talks are underway about him going back to South America.

Alisson Becker, whose brother Muriel was a key part in helping Liverpool identify Pitaluga originally, is the undisputed number one.

Caoimhin Kelleher and Vitezslav Jaros have both backed him up this season, while Giorgi Mamardashvili is set to arrive at Anfield from Valencia in the summer.

"It is about being ready," Pitaluga told Liverpool.com in November.

Be ready and it doesn’t matter where you end up."

Since moving to Scotland, Pitaluga has only played two cup matches and is yet to play a minute in the league.

On training with Alisson, he added: "The standards are really high.
