Chelsea are ready to launch a massive bid for AS Roma goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

The Daily Mail says Chelsea are preparing a bid for Roma's £65million-rated goalkeeper Alisson as they anticipate losing Thibaut Courtois to Real Madrid.

Talking to Belgian media, Courtois confirmed: "I have a certain preference, I already have ideas in my head, but I have moved everything until after the World Cup.

"My children are the most important thing for me: I now have one and a half years less contact with Chelsea, FaceTime is beautiful, but seeing them grow up is something else, so my children will play an important role in my decision."

The British record fee for a goalkeeper is the £34.7m Manchester City paid Benfica for Ederson but Chelsea will still want close to £50m for Courtois.
