Liverpool transfer news: Roma keeper Alisson not subject to any bids, claims Italian club’s chief Monchi


LIVERPOOL have made no offer for keeper Alisson, according to Roma chief Monchi.

The Brazil No1 has been linked with a move to Anfield following Loris Karius’ Champions League nightmare in Kiev.

But Roma’s director of football said: “In order for a player to leave, there have to be three elements in place – an offer, a yes from the club and from the player.

“As of today, we have nothing of the sort.”

Liverpool are said to be weighing up a £60million bid for Alisson, 25.

Though they may find it tough to prise the stopper – who has three years left on his current deal – away from Roma’s grasp.

Monchi added: “We are happy to keep him. Transfer rumours are normal at this stage.”

Karius, 24, gave away two goals in Liverpool’s 3-1 Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid on Saturday.

He rolled the ball directly at Karim Benzema for him to open the scoring and flapped at a Gareth Bale shot, causing it to rebound into the net.

Police will investigate death threats made against the German after he was targeted by vile trolls.

Meanwhile, Liverpool have completed the £44million signing of Brazilian midfielder Fabinho from Monaco.

The versatile 24-year-old joins on a five-year deal.
