Roma goalkeeper Alisson has told Gazzetta Dello Sport that he is unsure where his future lies amid rumours linking him to Liverpool.

What's the latest?

Loris Karius has shown improvements in between the sticks since he became first-choice goalkeeper ahead of Simon Mignolet at the start of 2018.

However, if the Reds want to compete for top honours on a regular basis, they need a proven world-class stopper that can take them to the next level.

According to the Liverpool Echo, Alisson has been on the Merseyside outfit’s radar, and in February the publication claimed that Roma had slapped a £70m price tag on the shot-stopper’s head.

It is unclear whether Jurgen Klopp will urge Liverpool to make a move in the summer, but the goalkeeper has been suggesting that he would be open to a transfer.

While speaking to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Alisson said:

"I don't know what will happen [in the summer]. Obviously, it is only logical that the interest makes me happy, but I don't think it's a question of needing [to move]. I know what I'm worth, not money-wise, but as a player. I know what I bring to the team, but I only think about the present. What happens next, we leave for later."

Is a deal likely?

It would be a surprise if Liverpool were the only club keeping tabs on Alisson ahead of the summer window.

The Brazil international has been in fine form this season, but there is a major stumbling block in the Reds’ path.

Roma will not have forgotten the fact that Liverpool snatched their best player last year for a relatively modest figure.

Mohamed Salah moved to Anfield for around £36m, which is a snip compared to the form that he has displayed on the pitch this season.

The Egyptian international has scored 43 goals in all competitions, and has taken home the PFA Player of the Year award, the Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year, and is on course to take home the Premier League Golden Boot.

It is safe to say that the attacker’s price has risen; in fact, Transfermarkt has the attacker valued at £72m, less than 12 months after he signed for Liverpool.

With all that in mind, Roma might not be so willing to do business with the Merseyside outfit, and if they are, the price is likely to go up.
