Liverpool have reportedly agreed to meet Roma’s full asking price in a deal to sign Alisson.
Il Messaggero claims that the Reds will pay €78 million in total for the Brazilian shot-stopper.
Roma are set to receive around €70 million up front and a further €8 million in bonuses.
It was reported yesterday that the two clubs had opened talks over a deal, amid suggestions Liverpool had lodged an opening bid.
Despite the two clubs opening talks, there was still believed to be some distance between their valuations, with the Reds falling just short with their offer.
Liverpool appear to have beaten off interest from Real Madrid and Chelsea to sign Alisson this summer.
Alisson had been earmarked by Chelsea as a possible replacement for Thibaut Courtois, but it is yet to be seen if the Blues will come back in for the player.
The Belgian looks set to join Real Madrid, leaving Chelsea in need of a new first-choice goalkeeper.
