Liverpool went into the summer with a pressing need for a goalkeeper upgrade, and the Reds spared no expense to secure the player they wanted to fill that role.

Liverpool has agreed on a reported $86 million transfer for AS Roma and Brazilian national team goalkeeper Alisson, according to multiple reports. The fee would be a new record for a goalkeeper, shattering the old record set when Ederson moved from Benfica to Manchester City.

Liverpool must now agree to personal terms with Alisson to complete the move.
