Following the news of Liverpool’s world-record bid for AS Roma goalkeeper Alisson, it seems as though a wave of transfer activity could be set to ensue.
The Reds are believed to have submitted an offer worth a whopping sum of £62 million for the Brazilian international, who enjoyed a strong campaign in Italy last season.
Goalkeepers are set to be hot property for clubs across Europe this summer and plenty are likely to be seeking pastures new,
So, which shot-stoppers could be on the move in the transfer merry-go-round. We’ve taken a look.
Alisson
Firstly, it seems Alisson will be departing Roma this summer for either Chelsea or Liverpool. Real Madrid don’t appear to be pursuing the Brazilian, meaning that the Reds are now at the front of the queue for the player.
Alphonse Areola
With Alisson closing in on a departure from Roma, the Serie A club are reportedly making contingency plans already. Following the arrival of Gianluigi Buffon at PSG, Alphonse Areola is understood to be a target for Roma this summer.
Thibaut Courtois
Real Madrid may not be signing Alisson this summer, but it seems they’ve got a pretty strong chance of landing Thibaut Courtois. The Chelsea man is entering the final year of his deal at the club and according to reports, Real are closing in on the Belgian international.
Kasper Schmeichel
One option that Chelsea have reportedly been considering lately is Kasper Schmeichel. The Leicester man enjoyed a strong World Cup campaign individually with Denmark and Chelsea may seek to replace Courtois with Schmeichel.
Petr Cech
Cech, too, is understood to be an option for Chelsea. The Blues are allegedly considering a move to re-sign the experienced goalkeeper from Arsenal this summer if Courtois moves on.
Gianluigi Donnarumma
Chelsea’s search for a new goalkeeper has not been limited to the Premier League, though, with AC Milan star Gianluigi Donnarumma having been linked in the past month. Pepe Reina’s arrival at San Siro could spell the end for Donnarumma, who has been linked with both Chelsea and Liverpool this summer.
