Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is reportedly demanding that his club make a move for Brazilian goalkeeper Alisson.

The Brazil number one is the subject of intense transfer speculation linking him with the likes of Real Madrid and Liverpool.

Now Chelsea are in the mix, given the likelihood of them selling Thibaut Courtois in the summer - who is refusing to sign a new contract.

According to Il Romanista in Italy, Abramovich wants Chelsea to sign Alisson to replace the wantaway Courtois, who is desperate for a move back to Spain where his family resides.

Roma would loathe to sell Alisson and would demand a big fee for their star keeper.
