GETTY Liverpool and Real Madrid want to sign Alisson
LIVERPOOL NEWS Alisson worry Roma star Alisson is one of the hottest properties in Europe. Liverpool are said to be planning a summer swoop for the 25-year-old to replace Simon Mignolet.

That is according to Barcelona-Based newspaper Mundo Deportivo.
GETTY Alisson has impressed at Roma
Mundo Deportivo claim Real have turned to Alisson after struggling to secure another goalkeeper, Kepa Arrizabalaga. Arrizabalaga was expected to join Real but instead signed a new contract at Athletic Bilbao. The Bernabeu club have been linked with deals for David De Gea and Thibaut Courtois in the past. They are also admirers of Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma. But Alisson could be a cheaper and more experienced acquisition. The Brazil international is expected to play at the World Cup this year and cost Roma around £6m just two summers ago. Keylor Navas is expected to be offloaded in the summer, with Alisson now a candidate to replace him between the Bernabeu sticks.

Mane and Salah friends Jurgen Klopp says Sadio Mane is not jealous of Mohamed Salah after Ian Wright claimed there was animosity between the Liverpool pair. "I don't think too much about it [Mane's form], even if Sadio is not at his best he's still a threat for other teams," he said. "He had the two biggest chances in Huddersfield, he didn't score - no problem. When you win 3-0 it is no problem. "You need to carry on, keep on going, for him it is exactly the same. I realise there are good moments, fantastic moments, average moments for players, but you can't change immediately. "Build on good things, work on not so good things. On an average day he is still a fantastic player. For sure, the new situation he is in with Mo Salah. "They are best friends, he's not jealous, but everyone watching now there to see what he [Salah] is doing. "And adapting to all these situations, that's how a team grows together. That's what's happening at the moment. "We have the points we have so far with Sadio in the shape he was in the season so far, we know he can play better, let's work on it."
