Liverpool are trying to sign Roma goalkeeper Alisson ahead of the summer, Sky Sports News understands.
Sky sources in Italy have said discussions are underway and at a very early stage via an Italian intermediary.
They also say Liverpool made an inquiry into signing the 26-year-old during the January transfer window and the club hope to persuade Roma to sell the player in the coming weeks.
However, it is understood Roma believe Alisson is one of the best in his position in Europe and value him at £62m (€70m) – potentially a world-record price for a goalkeeper.
