Alisson suggests future will be resolved ‘this week’

Roma goalkeeper Alisson will “see what happens this week” as he discussed the speculation surrounding his future.

The Brazil keeper was believed to be Liverpool’s top target this summer and Roma owner James Pallotta has previously confirmed the Reds are in for the 25-year-old.

Reports suggest Liverpool have backed off, while Roma have maintained their stance of wishing to keep the 25-year-old.

Alisson though remains open to move away from the Italian capital and he claims to have offers.

“I believe and I hope that everything will be resolved before the start of the World Cup,” Alisson said after Brazil’s 3-0 friendly win over Austria on Sunday.

“To be honest, I left everything in the hands of my agents.

“If it’s not resolved before the World Cup, then it will be discussed after it because my head will be focused only on Brazil [during the tournament].

“There are possibilities on which we are working, but always together with Roma and with respect to my club,” he said.

“We will see what will happen this week.”
