That’s according to the Liverpool Echo, who say German goalkeeper Karius has started to solidify himself as manager Jurgen Klopp’s long-term No 1.

Karius ousted Simon Mignolet as the Reds’ first-choice in January and has since produced his best form for Liverpool since signing from Mainz in the summer of 2016.

The 24-year-old’s rejuvenated performances, combined with Roma’s asking price for Alisson, have meant that the Brazil international is unlikely to be moving to Anfield this summer despite continuous links.

The Serie A side reportedly want £80million for Alisson, which would double the current transfer record for a keeper - a £34.7m spent by Manchester City on Ederson last summer.

Liverpool are said to hold Alisson in high esteem due to his form for the Italian giants but have told the player’s representatives that they will make no bid for the player in the summer.
