Chelsea FC will make an offer to sign AS Roma goalkeeper Alisson Becker after the Blues ended contract talks with Thibaut Courtois, according to a report in England.

Sky Sports is reporting that the west London side have grown frustrated with their protracted negotiations with the Belgium international.

The same article states that Chelsea FC have decided to stop talks with the Belgium international and will look at potential options to replace Courtois.

According to the same story, the Blues are ready to rival Liverpool FC for the signing of Brazil international Alisson in the current transfer window.

AS Roma are reluctant to sell the South American shot stopper given his rising status as one of the world’s best goalkeepers.

The Italian giants are thought to be ready to demand in excess of £80m for the 25-year-old goalkeeper in the summer transfer window.

The Blues finished in fifth place in the Premier League table last season to miss out on a spot in the Champions League for the second time in three seasons.

However, Chelsea FC were 1-0 winners against Manchester United in the FA Cup final at Wembley thanks to Eden Hazard’s first-half penalty.
