Liverpool FC could end their pursuit of AS Roma star Alisson Becker and opt to stick with Loris Karius next season, according to a report in England.

The Telegraph, as quoted by the Daily Express, is reporting that the Reds could be priced out of a deal to sign the Brazil international in the summer transfer window.

According to the report, Liverpool FC have been quoted a world record fee for a goalkeeper to land Atletico Madrid shot stopper Jan Oblak.

The same article states that Jurgen Klopp could look to rehabilitate Karius following his disastrous performance in the Champions League final.

The German goalkeeper made two big mistakes in Liverpool FC’s 3-1 loss to La Liga giants Real Madrid in the European Cup showpiece in Kiev.

Karius’ poor performance resulted in a fresh wave of speculation surrounding the German goalkeeper’s future and the possibility of a new goalkeeper arriving at Anfield this summer.

Liverpool FC finished in fourth place in the Premier League table to secure their continued participation in the Champions League.

The Reds have already signed Brazil international Fabinho in a £40m deal from Ligue 1 side AS Monaco in the summer transfer window.
