According to a report from Spanish media outlet Don Balon, Liverpool are moving forward quickly with their pursuit of Roma stopper Alisson Becker, following growing concern that Real Madrid will step in and nab the Brazilian from under their nose.

The 25-year-old is one of the most highly coveted players in Europe, after showcasing his outstanding ability between the sticks in Italy this season.

Jürgen Klopp is desperate to add a world-class goalkeeper to his ranks this summer, and Alisson could be just the ticket.

The Brazil international is a superb shot-stopper, but he is also excellent with his feet, and his ball dispersion would be an instant upgrade on both Loris Karius and SImon Mignolet.

Don Balon claim that Liverpool chiefs are growing increasingly more concerned that Madrid might nip in and sign Alisson, and with that in mind, they have fast-tracked their approach for the Roma ace.

According to Italian media outlet Corriere dello Sport, the 25-year-old will be available for around €60 million (£52.7 million) this summer, and whilst that sounds like a lot for a goalkeeper, he could make all the difference for Liverpool next season, and help them lift their first top flight league title since 1990.
