Liverpool did not make a January offer for reported goalkeeper target Alisson Becker,
according to Roma.
Italian outlet Il Tempo claimed last week that Jurgen Klopp had lodged a bid for 25-year-old
Alisson, but the Serie A side turned down the bid.
But it now turns out Roma did not receive a bid for Alisson, according to sporting director
Monchi.
Monchi said: "Did any offers come in for Alisson?
No.
It's too early to talk about the next transfer window, it's not very useful talking today,
about who will stay or go," as reported by Football Italia.
"Let's start talking about play, technique, tactics… that would be more useful for everyone."
Klopp is understood to have earmarked a new goalkeeper in the summer after dropping Simon
Mignolet in favour of Loris Karius.
Mignolet, 29, looks as though his time at Anfield is coming to a close and Klopp will
not be put off by Alisson's £44million fee after spending £75million on Virgil van
Dijk at the start of January.
Alisson though, who is under contract until June 2021, may need persuading about a move
away from Serie A.
"I am happy in Rome," Alisson told Sky Italia, last month after being linked with
Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain.
"It's always a pleasure to feel that lots of people are monitoring you but my head is
focused on Roma.
I leave my future in the hands of God.
"In June, maybe we will speak about it again but for now I am concentrated on Roma."
