Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has had enough of Loris Karius and the German has gone all out to solve his goalkeeping problems by making a record £67 million offer for AS Roma number 1, Alisson Becker which the Italians have finally accepted.
The Reds lost the Champions League final to Real Madrid in May thanks to Karius conceding two very cheap goals from Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale and the German has taken his poor form into preseason where he conceded another cheap goal against Tranmere.
His poor form and the generally poor quality of Liverpool’s goalkeepers has forced Klopp into paying Roma a fee that would easily double the current record transfer fee for a goalkeeper.
Sun Sport claims that Liverpool have agreed to pay £58 million up front while the remaining £9 million would come in add-ons. The Rome-based side have been stalling on accepting Liverpool’s offer over the past few days as they expected a bidding war with Chelsea to begin, however, the Blues who may need to replace Thibaut Courtois haven’t made any official approach for the Brazilian and they have given Liverpool the go-ahead to discuss with the player and his representatives.
