The reds have made a structured bid for AS Roma’s shot-stopper Alisson. Liverpool has been reported ready to cough an excess of 60 million Euros for the goalkeeper. This will exceed the current world fee for shot-stoppers. Liverpool has been reported to be serious to see this deal prosper. Alisson has had a great World Cup with the Brazilians in Russia. He was able to keep some clean sheets, as he assisted the team to cruise all the way to the semi-finals where they succumbed under the hands of the Belgians.
The Serie A club has since kept quiet on the allegation made by Liverpool. However, Roma stated their intentions to keep their number one Goalkeeper despite interests from Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Chelsea. Being a competitive battle to fight, Real Madrid is reported to be eying on Thibaut Courtois whose contract is set to expire in the next season. Thibaut managed to cruise Belgium all the way to the Semi-Finals where they were knocked out by France. Despite the exit, Thibaut managed to grab the Golden Gloves.
Thibaut’s departure is likely to happen. The Champions League winners are yet to reveal their close fee for the Goalkeeper in the coming few weeks. This has made Chelsea dive into the market in search for his replacement. There is no better goalkeeper for the Blues than Alisson. In the recent seasons, Alisson has been Italy’s best goalkeeper. He has consistently kept the highly-rated Manchester City Goalkeeper Ederson on the Brazilian bench.
The 35 million Euros that was coughed out by Manchester City for Ederson is the highest fee that has ever been paid for a goalkeeper. If a deal is sealed with reds, the mark will be changed. Alisson will be the most expensive goalkeeper in the World. Roma was reported to have said that Alisson is set to leave the club during this summer. However, they are not ready to release him if the suiter won’t be able to cough a hefty amount of 75 million Euros. AS Roma have already signed a 21-year-old Brazilian goalkeeper from Palmeiras. They also signed veteran Antonio Mirant during this summer.
Liverpool is keen to add another number 1 goalkeeper in their squad after Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet exhausted the patience of the coaching staff. To make matters worse, the ended Champions League that concluded last month, saw Liverpool get embarrassed by Real Madrid after Karius made some Errors.
