Alisson's move will almost double the previous record for a goalkeeper, set by Manchester City 12 months ago when they signed Ederson from Benfica for £ 35m.
No problem is envisaged in personal terms but Liverpool is eager to quickly conclude the deal. Ideally, Alisson will be confirmed as their fourth signing of the summer before heading to the United States on Friday.

Liverpool suing Alisson since January but there was a period when the Roma asked
There are parallels with the pursuit for the defender Virgil van Dijk £ 75 million, in that Klopp prefers to have the right player rather than settle for a more economical target. Alisson is the only man the Liverpool manager wanted for this job.
Chelsea tried to land Alisson for new manager Maurizio Sarri but several factors – including the unresolved future of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois at Stamford Bridge – meant that they were second favorites.
Alisson reportedly received positive reports from the Brazilian World Cup team, led by Liverpool striker Roberto Firmino, asking him to move to Anfield
Alisson is almost certain to Be the last Liverpool signature of this window. They have already strengthened their midfield by adding Naby Keita of RB Leipzig, Xherdan Shaqiri of Stoke and Fabinho of Monaco but they have not contacted Lyon about Nabil Fekir since a £ 53m deal. Collapsed on June 9th.
For all the rumors To turn around the striker Fekir, Liverpool has moved on and the focus will now be on reducing their squad.

The arrival of Alisson will definitely end the short Liverpool career of the former no.1 Karius
• Maybe something is going on but it should not be the last day. I really thought that the idea of moving the transfer window was good, but only if we did it all together. In terms of team planning, I'm fine. In football terms, we are on the right track but not where we want to be. Many will come once the other boys are back.
& # 39; Everything will be fine in the end. At the moment, I am happy with the team. Something could still happen? We'll see …
"Great teams, successful teams – if you do not buy it, you have to build it. It means staying together, making additions and taking the next step. It's like that. The team and the team are in a very good time.
"We had a situation last season where we had 12 players fit in. They know we need depth in the team.They know we need quality and they know that if we win something we will win with 25 players. "
