Liverpool make record bid for Roma keeper Alisson
(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Liverpool have made an offer to sign Roma’s Alisson for a reported £62m, a world record fee for a goalkeeper.
Roma are considering the bid but no deal has been agreed and the Italian side are said to want £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, after starting his career at Brazilian side Internacional.
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.
