Liverpool have made an offer to sign Roma's Alisson for a reported £62m, the highest ever fee for a
goalkeeper.
No deal has been agreed yet but Roma
are considering the bid though the Italian side are said to want fee of £66m.
Alisson has recently returned from
the World Cup in Russia where he appeared for Brazil.
The 25-year-old has been at Roma for
two years, and played 37 Serie A games last season.
Liverpool's bid, which is 70m euros,
would overtake the current record for a keeper - 53m euros paid by Juventus to
Parma for Gianluigi Buffon in 2001.
The Premier League record for a
keeper is the 40m euros Manchester City paid
Benfica for Ederson in June 2017.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was
forced to defend goalkeeper Loris Karius last week after another mistake - this
time in a pre-season friendly against Tranmere.
The 25-year-old German spilled a
free-kick that allowed the hosts to score in Liverpool's 3-2 win at Prenton
Park.
Karius was at fault for two goals in
Liverpool's 3-1 defeat by Real Madrid in the Champions League final, but it was
later found that he had concussion.
Alisson played all five games, keeping three clean sheets, as
Brazil were knocked out at the quarter-final stage of the World Cup by Belgium.
