Liverpool have no plans to bid for Roma goalkeeper Alisson this summer, according to Sky sources.

Reports emerged on Monday that Liverpool were preparing a formal offer of £57.5m but Sky Sports News understands that is not the case.

Roma's £80m valuation of the Brazil No 1 had put off Liverpool and Sky Sports News reported last month the Premier League club were unlikely to make a move for the player this summer.

Alisson is thought to have been a target in January and just after, but Liverpool have not made an approach in the current transfer window.

It is understood Real Madrid are Alisson's likely destination should he leave Roma this summer.
