Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing the Roma ace.
Liverpool star Roberto Firmino spoke to reporters last night, and admitted that he has tried to convince his international teammate Alisson Becker to join the Jürgen Klopp revolution at Anfield on more than one occasion, as quoted by the Daily Mail.
The Reds are long-term admirers of the Roma stopper, according to Sky Sports, and are desperate to sign him before the new Premier League season begins.
Sky Italia claim that the Serie A outfit value the Brazil international at €100 million (£87.8 million), however, and it is unclear as to whether Liverpool are prepared to stretch to that amount.
Firmino admitted that he would love to see the 25-year-old goalkeeper move to Merseyside this summer, when speaking to reporters, sharing how he has tried to convince his Brazil teammate to make the switch to Anfield, as quoted by the Daily Mail:
“Every once in a while I give him a pinch to come to Liverpool to help us and such, but it’s with his agents. It would not hurt if he came to Liverpool.”
Liverpool are expected to mount a serious challenge for the Premier League title next season, and if they do manage to bring Alisson into the club, they will surely be in a great position from which to do just that.
