Roma are considering Robin Olsen, Alphonse Areola and Jasper Cillessen as potential replacements for Alisson, according to reports.

The Brazilian goalkeeper appears to be close to joining Liverpool, while Chelsea could yet make a late move once they sell Thibaut Courtois to Atletico Madrid.

In either case it appears certain that Alisson will leave this summer, so sporting director Monchi is looking for alternatives.

Roma are considering Robin Olsen, Alphonse Areola and Jasper Cillessen as potential replacements for Alisson, according to reports.

The Brazilian goalkeeper appears to be close to joining Liverpool, while Chelsea could yet make a late move once they sell Thibaut Courtois to Atletico Madrid.

In either case it appears certain that Alisson will leave this summer, so sporting director Monchi is looking for alternatives.

According to this morning’s Gazzetta dello Sport, the first name on the shortlist is Sweden goalkeeper Olsen, who impressed at the World Cup.

The 28-year-old went 19 games without conceding for Copenhagen last season, and would arrive for a relatively low cost.

An alternative is Paris Saint-Germain’s Alphonse Areola, whose contract expires next summer and may be forced out by the arrival of Gianluigi Buffon.

Finally, Jasper Cillessen, who is backup goalkeeper at Barcelona, is in the frame.

Gazzetta points out that Monchi appears to be looking for a reliable goalkeeper, but not necessarily “a phenomenon”.
