Real Madrid have set their sights on Roma keeper Alisson in what could be a blow for Liverpool.
The Brazilian has been brilliant in the Serie A this season leading to justified interest across Europe, and Mundo Deportivo say it will be even tougher for Liverpool to land his services with Real in the hunt.
However, on Thursday Roma sporting director Monchi dismissed speculation linking Liverpool with a move for the 25-year-old.
Jordan Henderson insists Liverpool are ready for Spurs
Jordan Henderson insists Liverpool are up for the challenge of facing Tottenham.
Liverpool could be forgiven for being wary following Spurs’ impressive win over Manchester United in midweek.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side also inflicted a humiliating 4-1 loss on the Reds at Wembley in October in another demonstration of their attacking qualities.
Yet a bullish Henderson says Liverpool are full of confidence after their win at Huddersfield.
“Yeah, we’ve got a big game on Sunday against Spurs, who are a very good side,” said the Reds skipper.

“They’ve got fantastic players and a fantastic squad of players.
“It will be a big test, but one I think we’re ready for. We need to make sure we put in performances like we did at Huddersfield on a regular basis.
“We’re really excited to see what we can do over these last few months of the season.”
RB Leipzig 'troll Liverpool for failing to sign Naby Keita' early
RB Leipzig have apparently aimed a cheeky dig at Liverpool for trying and failing to sign Naby Keita early.
The Guinean has already been signed by the Merseyside outfit, and will link up with his new team at the end of the season.
But after the Reds lost Philippe Coutinho to Barcelona, in a deal worth £142million, they looked into the possibility of signing Keita early.
RB Leipzig were against the idea, but appeared willing to part company with the midfielder early if Liverpool stumped up some extra cash.

The Reds on the other hand, who have already parted with £50million to sign him in the first place, were obviously against this idea.
As the mooted deal to sign Keita failed to materialise, pressure was put on Klopp to find an adequate Coutinho replacement for now until the end of the season.
But speaking to the press ahead of Deadline Day, Klopp officially ruled out any such activity.
