Liverpool will sign a new goalkeeper this summer in the wake of Loris Karius’ horror-show against Real Madrid in the Champions Legue final, claims The Daily Telegraph.
Karius made errors for two of Madrid’s three goals in Saturday’s final defeat and Jurgen Klopp will has now revived his interest in Roma star Alisson.
Liverpool have been heavily linked with a move for the Brazil international in the last 12 months, but will need to shell out a world record fee for a goalkeeper in order to prise him away from Roma.
Alisson is widely regarded as one of the best goalkeepers in Europe and has previously been valued in the region of £75m.
Liverpool will also consider a move for Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak, who has a reported €100m release clause in his existing deal with the Spanish giants.
Alisson finished the campaign as the highest WhoScored rated goalkeeper in Europe’s top five leagues (6.99), earning a place in the best rated XI as a result.
With Liverpool’s interest in mind, it’s worth considering the 25-year-old for your Football INDEX portfolios. His share price is currently £1.09 but will only increase as speculation intensifies over the summer.
