Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing the Roma goalkeeper.
Liverpool legend Steve Nicol spoke exclusively to ESPN FC regarding his former club’s reported pursuit of Roma goalkeeper Alisson, and shared what he has heard about the potential deal.
The Reds are on the verge of achieving something special under the guidance of Jürgen Klopp, and the Liverpool boss has wasted no time in bolstering his ranks already this summer, bringing in Fabinho and Naby Keita.
Many fans and pundits believe that the Merseyside outfit need to add a world class goalkeeper to their squad this summer, however, if thy are to mount a sustained challenge for the Premier League title this season.
Liverpool have been linked with a plethora of high-profile names including the likes of Roma’s Alisson Becker and Atletico Madrid’s Jan Oblak.
Nicol, who made 370 appearances for the Reds, claimed that he believes his former side have already made a bid for Roma’s Brazilian stopper, when speaking exclusively to ESPN FC:
“This is about the price. I would love Alisson at Liverpool. As far as I understand, Liverpool have made a bid. I am going to say they have get him.”
According to a report from the Guardian, Roma are demanding €90 million (£79 million) for Alisson, and it is unclear whether Liverpool are prepared to stretch to that amount.
If the Reds do manage to sign the Brazilian, though, it could turn out to be a really significant piece of business for them.
