# Liverpool confident about £40m Butland deal

Liverpool are reportedly confident that they will secure the services of Jack Butland this summer.

[The Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-closing-40million-capture-jack-12164732) report that Liverpool are closing in on a £40 million deal with Jurgen Klopp thought to be the deciding factor in the player’s mind.

The Stoke City goalkeeper has been heavily linked with a move to both Arsenal and Liverpool in recent weeks, but the player has his heart set on an Anfield switch.

Working alongside Klopp is reportedly something that interests Butland, something that helped the Reds beat Manchester City to the signature of Virgil van Dijk too.

A £40 million deal would see Butland become the world’s most expensive goalkeeper, surpassing the £37 million that Manchester City spent on Ederson last summer.

Loris Karius has impressed since becoming Liverpool’s number one, but Klopp is still expected to look for a new number one this summer.

Roma’s Allison has also been linked with a switch to Anfield, but the Brazilian is also attracting interest from Chelsea and Manchester United.
