Chelsea 'hijack Alisson Becker talks'

Chelsea have reportedly joined the race to sign Roma goalkeeper Alisson Becker.

Liverpool and Real Madrid have been strongly linked with a move for the Brazilian, but according to Gianluca di Marzio, Chelsea have made an offer for the 25-year-old.

The alleged move comes as the Blues reportedly break off contract extension talks with Belgian stopper Thibaut Courtois in favour of a swoop for Allison.

The news outlet adds that Liverpool and Madrid could eye up an offer for Courtois if the reports of him being unwanted at Chelsea lead to his exit from Stamford Bridge.

Alisson made 49 appearances for Roma this season, including 12 in the club's run to the Champions League semi-finals.
