Alisson appears to be closing in on a move to the Premier League after Real Madrid exited the race for the Brazilian. La Repubblica reports that while Liverpool are in the lead for the player, as they’ve offered €60 million plus €10 million in bonuses, Monchi is awaiting for Chelsea to make a maneuver in the hopes of driving up the price and creating an auction for the services of the Brazilian.
Meanwhile, Alphonse Areola of PSG remains the favorite to replace the Brazilian should he depart. Despite not having initially been convinced of a move to Roma, Javier Pastore has appeared to ease to any concerns he may have.
