Roma Chief Monchi Makes Alisson Assurances Amid Real Madrid Rumours

Roma sporting director Monchi has made assurances that star goalkeeper Alisson will remain at the club past the summer, although he did admit the Brazilian is unlikely to stay forever.

So impressive have the 25-year-old's performances been in 2017-18 that Alisson has been linked with interest from Spanish giants Real Madrid, but Monchi said he will still be at the Stadio Olimpico next term, per CalcioNews24 (via Football Italia):

"I can't say Alisson will stay at Roma for 30 years. If I think of a shorter future, I'd say 'yes.' He'll stay with us next season because we don't need to sell him.
