Alisson is Liverpool's booming statement of intent
Liverpool have moved to solve the biggest problem facing Jurgen Klopp by agreeing a world record fee of £66.8million with Roma for Alisson.
The Reds are on the brink of shattering the previous highest transfer involving a goalkeeper – the £34.7m that Manchester City paid Benfica for Ederson in 2017.
Only personal terms and a medical stand between Liverpool and Alisson becoming the club's fourth signing of the summer following deals for Naby Keita, Fabinho and Xherdan Shaqiri.
There's no question this would be the most significant one of the lot by some distance.
