Alisson is currently the most sought-after goalkeeper in the world. An average World Cup campaign was not a put off for his suitors after his amazing 2017/18 season, as Chelsea and Liverpool both eye mega-money moves for the Brazilian.
As of now, the Reds lead the race. Last season's Champions League finalist has tabled an $81m offer for 25-year-old and the Selecao shot-stopper has reportedly been in contact with Jurgen Klopp.
However, Roma wants to take advantage of Chelsea's need for a new custodian in order to pocket a few extra millions. With Thibaut Courtois tipped to be on his way to Santiago Bernabeu, the Blues must open their checkboos in order to find a quality replacement.
Giallorossi's sporting director Monchi wishes to cash in on Chelsea's dilemma by sparking a bidding war. As a result, the club has given the London outfit 48 hours to lodge in a superior $86m offer to beat Liverpool, according to Il Messagero. It remains to be seen whether Maurizio Sarri's crew will table that amount to acquire Alisson's services.
Conflicting reports also claim the Merseyside giant has already upped their bid for the Brazilian to $66m in order to make the Roma man the most expensive goalkeeper in history. Time is not in Chelsea's favor but all hope is not lost.
Should the Stamford Bridge side miss out on the Brazilian, which is looking more and more likely by the minute, another target is being lined up. After impressing in Russia with Denmark, Kasper Schmeichel has emerged as another target for the FA Cup holder.
