Liverpool target Alisson makes spectacular string of saves
The Roma goalkeeper is close to penning a new contract in the Italian capital with a huge release clause of €90million (£80m), according to Calcio Mercato.
January interest from Liverpool, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain got the Serie A club rushing to tie their shot stopper down to a long-term deal.
Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius have been less than convincing on Merseyside and Jurgen Klopp was thought to be searching for a new number one.
Meanwhile, Real have failed to properly replace Iker Casillas, who left the club in 2015.
Calcio Mercato add that Alisson is asking for €5m (£4.4m) to remain with Roma.
And that is a stark contrast to the €1.5m (£1.3m) he currently earns.
The valuation given for the Brazilian last month was £40m but if he puts pen to paper in the coming weeks then it would cost double that to price him away.

Liverpool still have the war-chest from Philippe Coutinho’s sale to Barcelona which they could play with in the summer.
Real are expected to completely overhaul their squad in the summer because of a disappointing season.
And a new goalkeeper is thought to be high on their agenda.
