# Real Madrid to make initial offer for Reds target Alisson imminently

Real Madrid will make first contact with Roma goalkeeper and Liverpool target Alisson in the next few hours, according to [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11835/11405171/real-madrid-set-to-make-43-7m-bid-for-alisson-from-roma), who cite Sky Italia.

Sky report that the Champions League winners will make an initial offer of £43.7million, which is way short of Roma’s £70million price tag.

Real will also not bid beyond £52.4million, plus £8.4million in add-ons. Sky Italia also report that the player’s personal terms are already agreed in principle.

It has been reported by a number of sites today that Liverpool hope to steal a march on Real’s plans by contacting Alisson’s representatives, but Sky believe that the Reds are unlikely to make an approach, because they will not meet Roma’s valuation.

Another source reportedly told Sky Sports that Alisson is most likely to end up at Real Madrid, although they could turn to Chelsea ‘keeper Thibaut Courtois if a fee can’t be agreed.

The 25-year old Brazilian, who is currently in Russia with the Brazil national team, is believed to be Liverpool’s top target to succeed Loris Karius as their new number one.

However, a number of other goalkeepers are believed to be on Liverpool’s radar, including Jan Oblak and Jack Butland.
