The Mirror claim that the 25-year-old landed in Liverpool on Thursday to undergo a medical and eventually sign a contract with the Reds.

Allison has also been a target for Chelsea as the Blues are in search for Thibaut Courtois’ replacement if he moves to Real Madrid but, they will now have to ensure they retain the services of the Belgium shot stopper for next season.

‘Alisson to Liverpool deal will be official soon. We haven’t finalized anything yet. But it is true that the negotiations are advanced and he’s over in Liverpool now,’ said Monchi as seen in The Mirror.

‘When a very substantial offer comes in, you have to consider it. We weighed up the pros and cons and decided to speak to Liverpool.’ He added.
