Liverpool are being linked with Lazio goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha.
Liverpool’s search for a goalkeeper continues, though Marca report that Reds target Alisson is nearing a move to Real Madrid this summer.
Loris Karius’ nightmare Champions League final performance in the 3-1 defeat to Real Madrid means that Liverpool are once again looking for a shot-stopper, with Simon Mignolet potentially leaving.
Roma star Alisson appears to be a top target, whilst Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak has also been mentioned, but new reports suggest another goalkeeper is on Jurgen Klopp’s radar.
Il Messaggero in Italy reported on Wednesday that Liverpool are interested in landing Lazio goalkeeper Thomas Strakosha, with a fee of around €30million (£26million) mentioned.
Strakosha, 23, was born in Greece and joined Lazio from Panionios in 2012, and after a loan spell with Salernitana, he has become a regular for Lazio between the sticks.
The goalkeeper has now racked up more than 75 appearances for Lazio, and has emerged as one of the most promising goalkeepers in Italian football, with the Albanian international starring.
Liverpool may now move for Strakosha this summer, but fans have taken to Twitter to suggest that they aren’t convinced he is any better than Karius.
Fans want a more proven goalkeeper than Strakosha and feel he isn’t the solution to Liverpool’s problems between the sticks, even if some do think he could be good value at £26million.
