Chelsea have made a £52m bid to Roma for goalkeeper Alisson, according to reports in Italy.
With Thibaut Courtois about to enter the final year of his contract at Stamford Bridge, speculation has been rife about where his future may lie. The Belgian has admitted that he would like to be re-united with his Madrid-based family, so a move to either Atletico or Real would suit him.
It looks like Chelsea have decided to be proactive and look for a new number one and as such, they’ve made an offer to Roma for Alisson.
The Brazilian number one is a reported target for both Liverpool and Real Madrid, but Chelsea look like they’ve tried to steal a march on the two Champions League finalists by making an offer.
Roma are likely to reject the bid as they are holding out for bids closer to £70m, although it does look like Alisson will leave this summer as the Serie A side need to raise funds in order to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
