# Premier League duo join Liverpool in race to sign Alisson

Liverpool are facing competition from both Chelsea and Manchester United for the signature of Roma goalkeeper Alisson.

The [Mirror](https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-united-chelsea-battle-liverpool-12085095?_ga=2.18019833.1951948625.1519598575-1877877887.1518126569) reports that Alisson, who has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield, has been earmarked by both clubs as a possible target.

The report says that the clubs will only sanction a move if Real Madrid sign either Thibaut Courtois or David De Gea this summer.

Chelsea have been linked with a move as Courtois’ contract expires at the end of next season, but he is yet to agree on fresh terms and there are growing concerns about his long-term future at Stamford Bridge.

Manchester United find themselves in a similar position, with rumours surrounding De Gea refusing to go away.

With neither Loris Karius or Simon Mignolet convincingly staking a claim to be named as Liverpool’s regular number one, Jurgen Klopp is looking to strengthen his options for next season.
