Chelsea interested in signing Alisson

Chelsea have made contact with Roma about the availability of goalkeeper Alisson, according to a report from Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

Chelsea are reportedly worried that Thibaut Courtois, their current first-choice goalkeeper, will not sign a new contract with the club as he wants to return to Spain.

Therefore, the Blues have plans in place to let the Belgian leave this summer, if they can find a suitable replacement.

Roma’s Alisson, who is also being monitored by Liverpool and Real Madrid, looks like he could be for sale at the right price and if that is the case, then he’s the man Chelsea would want to bring in.

Courtois, who has been linked with moves to both Madrid-based clubs, is apparently keen to return to the Spanish capital as his family still live there after settling down there when the Belgian international was on loan at Atletico.

Alisson, who will be Brazil’s number one goalkeeper at the World Cup, would likely cost around £80m.
