Chelsea Reportedly Lead Liverpool, Real Madrid in Alisson Becker Race

Chelsea are reportedly in pole position to sign Roma goalkeeper Alisson Becker ahead of Liverpool and Real Madrid.

According to Marca's J.L. Calderon (h/t Sport Witness' Naveen Ullal), Roma director of football Monchi has confirmed the club are yet to receive any bids for the Brazilian, but Chelsea have joined the hunt and are the closest to matching his €70 million (£62 million) valuation.

Despite Monchi's assertion, Real are said to have proposed a €40 million (£35 million) switch the Serie A club rejected.

Liverpool are seemingly prepared to spend more than Los Blancos, but it's unclear if they're open to matching Chelsea.
