Chelsea could agree deal for ‘best goalkeeper in the world’ Alisson to replace Courtois

According to Don Balon, Chelsea could agree a deal with AS Roma for Alisson Becker, whom they call one of the ‘best goalkeepers in the world’. The Blues could be losing Thibaut Courtois this summer as they’ve failed to negotiate a contract extension and Alisson would be a fantastic replacement.

The 25-year-old joined Roma from Internacional in 2016 and has gone on to make 64 appearances in all competitions, keeping an impressive 26 clean sheets. Alisson has made 24 caps for the Brazilian national team and keeps Manchester City stopper Ederson out of the starting lineup.
