Perotti: Roma can cope without Liverpool-bound Alisson

Alisson is a big loss for Roma but the Serie A side can survive just like they did following the high-profile departures of Mohamed Salah and Radja Nainggolan, according to forward Diego Perotti.

Brazil international goalkeeper Alisson is reportedly on the verge of completing a world-record £67 million ($86m) switch to Premier League outfit Liverpool .

Alisson – who is expected to sign a six-year contract with the Champions League runners-up – conceded just 28 goals in 37 Serie A appearances last term as Roma finished third.

The 25-year-old also played a starring role in Roma's remarkable run to the Champions League semi-finals, which was ended by Liverpool.
