Courtois key as Chelsea, Real Madrid front queue for Alisson

Chelsea and Real Madrid are front of the queue for unsettled Roma goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

Alisson's agents have visited London this past week for talks with Chelsea, while he has attracted an approach from Real GM Jose Angel Sanchez as they seek a replacement for Keylor Navas.

Sky Italia says everything will hinge on the future of Thibaut Courtois. Should the Chelsea goalkeeper choose to stay, then Real Madrid will move for Alisson. Otherwise, Chelsea will seek to sign the Brazilian should Courtois join Real.

Roma are demanding €100m to sell Alisson, though Chelsea intermediaries are confident a deal of €70-75m can be closed with the Giallorossi.
