This happened right after Paul Joyce, the most trusted correspondent when it comes to Liverpool, followed the Brazilian keeper on Twitter – not to mention Ze Maria Neis, Alisson’s agent – liking photoshopped images of his client in LFC kit!
It appears we’ve lodged a €60m+€10m bid, according to Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari.

We could have an announcement by the end of the week, Reds.
Alisson looks certain to leave Roma after removing them from his Instagram bio.
Of course, Chelsea are keen, but we’ve beaten them to Virgil van Dijk and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in the past and as we can offer Champions League Football – we’re confident we can do it again.
It’ll be a nervy wait now, but we’ll be providing you with timely updates as and when they arrive!
