Roma have bid farewell to goalkeeper Alisson ahead of his £67m move to Liverpool.
Alisson has returned to Italy after undergoing a medical in Liverpool on Thursday.
The 25-year-old left John Lennon Airport on a private plane headed for Rome on Thursday evening. Sky in Italy say Alisson has already agreed a five-year deal.
He will become the world's most expensive goalkeeper after Liverpool's offer surpassed the £34.7m Manchester City paid for Ederson in 2017.
The Serie A club tweeted: "Thank you Alisson and good luck in your new adventure."
The deal was too good to turn down, according to Roma sporting director Monchi.
"We haven't finalised anything yet [with Alisson]," he said on Thursday morning. "But it is true that the negotiations are advanced.
"When a very substantial offer comes in, you have to consider it. We weighed up the pros and cons and decided to speak to Liverpool."
