New Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has reportedly spoken to Roma goalkeeper Alisson in an attempt to lure the Brazilian to Stamford Bridge instead of Anfield.
As per a report from Premium Sport, as cited on the Mirror, the new Chelsea boss has taken matters into his own hands.
Liverpool are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign the player from Roma, with the two sides opening talks over a summer deal.
Both Liverpool and Chelsea have been heavily linked with a move for the Brazilian, with each club looking to sign a new first-choice goalkeeper.
Sarri is said to have a good relationship with Alisson, which he hopes can be enough to seal a deal in his favour.
Chelsea are reportedly ready to match Liverpool’s offer, with a £5.6 million contract on the table.
Thibaut Courtois is reportedly closing in on a move to Real Madrid, but Chelsea will be keen to have his replacement signed before sanctioning a deal.
