The La Liga giants wants a long term replacement for Keylor Navas

Despite winning the Champions League final against Liverpool last month, La Liga giants are expected to reinforce their side this summer after an underwhelming domestic campaign. The club could sell few players to accommodate new signings.

The La Liga giants have prioritized signing a goalkeeper as Kiko Casilla likely to leave the club and Keylor Navas will turn 32 next season. They have been linked to host of goalkeepers like David De Gea and Thibaut Courtois ahead of the summer transfer window.

They have now turned their their attention towards Roma goalkeeper Alisson Becker, who has had an excellent season in Italy last season.

The Brazilian joined the Serie A giants from Inter Milan in the summer of 2016, signing a 5 year contract. He  spent the majority of that season as understudy to Polish international Wojciech Szczęsny, managing to make only 15 appearances in all competitions.

It has been a meteoric rise for the Brazilian who did not play a single game in Serie A in the 2016-2017 campaign before taking over as the undisputed No.1 last term. He has been very impressive for the club domestically and in Europe, keeping 22 clean sheets in 49 games for the club in all competitions.

The Goalkeeper also helped his team to reach the Semi-finals of the Champions League and has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

The Brazil International has also been heavily linked with host a move to Liverpool in addition to the Champions League winners. The player recently told that he wants his future to be sorted before the World Cup as he is eager to avoid any distractions in Russia.

Real Madrid have made an opening bid of €57 million Alisson, reports the Daily Mail. However Roma do not want to sell and have valued the Brazil goalkeeper at €85 million.
