Roma goalkeeper Alisson responds to Liverpool rumours

Roma goalkeeper Alisson has offered Liverpool encouragement that he is willing to discuss a move to the club at the end of the season.

The Brazil international has reportedly been earmarked by Reds boss Jurgen Klopp as the man to solve his goalkeeping crisis for the 2018-19 campaign.

Alisson, said to be valued at around £44m by Italian club Roma, is currently content at the Stadio Olimpico but is keeping his options open for next season.

"I am happy in Rome," he told Sky Sport Italia. "It's always a pleasure to feel that lots of people are monitoring you but my head is focused on Roma.

"I leave my future in the hands of God. In June, maybe we will speak about it again but for now I am concentrated on Roma."

Alisson, also linked with Barcelona in recent weeks, has started all 19 of Roma's Serie A games this term.
