And Gianluca Di Marzio claims Malmo youngster Marko Johansson, 19, has caught the eye of the Italian club.

Johansson has impressed on loan at Trelleborg and his agent reportedly met Roma representatives in Italy last week.

Di Marzio  adds that Napoli share an interest and Roma are planning more talks in Sweden next week to steal a march on their rivals.

The Serie A outfit believe they have the "Lionel Messi of goalkeepers in Alisson" - as claimed by their sporting director Monchi.

But they appear to be willing to do business at the right price after selling superstar winger Mo Salah to the Reds over the summer.

Monchi has admitted he did not get enough money for the Egyptian and will almost certainly play hardball over Alisson.

And he could be the man to finally solve Liverpool's problems between the Sticks after Simon Mignolet and Loris Karius failed to nail down the No1 jersey.
