Liverpool have reportedly completed the signing of Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson from Roma.
Reports emerging from Italy by Gianluca Di Marzio claim that the deal is done and the goalkeeper will have his medical at the club soon prior to an official confirmation.
The deal to take Alisson to Anfield has been developing quickly throughout the week.
It was reported this morning that the two clubs had agreed a fee for the player, which is believed to be in the region of £67 million, a world-record fee for a goalkeeper.
Personal terms have been agreed and he is expected to earn around £5 million a year in Liverpool.
There had been some suggestions that Roma were holding out for the potential of a second, improved offer from Chelsea, who were also in the running to sign him this summer.
Real Madrid were also believed to be interested, but they have focused their attention on a deal to sign Thibaut Courtois.
The player is now expected to fly into Liverpool tonight, where his medical could potentially take place.
