making the deal worth a total of 70m euros. Roma are determined to drive a hard bargain for the stopper because they feel Liverpool shortchanged them over Mohamed Salah (right) last summer.

The Italians have yet to say if they will accept Liverpool’s offer but talks between the clubs are ongoing. Liverpool are confident they’ll reach agreement but Chelsea may yet hijack the deal if they lose Belgian international Courtois. The £35m that Manchester City paid for Ederson 12 months ago is the current world record for a goalkeeper.
