Italian Report Claims Liverpool Interested in £26m Deal for Lazio Stopper

​Liverpool could be preparing to look at alternative goalkeeping targets to Alisson Becker, with a report claiming the Reds are ready to table an offer for Lazio stopper Thomas Strakosha in the region of £26m.

The Reds have seemingly stepped up their hunt for a new number one goalkeeper after Loris Karius's error-riddled performance in their Champions League final defeat to ​Real Madrid.

​Roma's Alisson, ​Atletico Madrid's Jan Oblak and ​AC Milan’s Gianluigi Donnarumma have all been linked to Liverpool, as Jurgen Klopp runs the rule over his goalkeeping ranks at Anfield. 

According to Italian site ​CittaCeleste.it, Liverpool have turned their attention to yet another goalkeeper as they are said to be prepared to offer €30m for the Albania international, who failed to miss a league match for Lazio last season alongside his 10 Europa League appearances.

The 23-year-old keeper joined Lazio from Greek side Panionios in 2012, where has gone on to make 78 appearances for the Italian side since his arrival - with the Italians reportedly lining up Iker Casillas as a potential replacement for the youngster. 

Strakosha would prove to be one of the Reds' inexpensive options in between the sticks as the keepers currently linked with a move to Anfield are expected to cost in excess of €60m.

Liverpool have already forked out ​£40m for the signing of Fabinho, and are expected to part with a further £60m to land the highly-rated Lyon skipper Nabil Fekir. 

Whilst Karius's position at Anfield continues to come under question, Simon Mignolet's future on Merseyside looks all but over after failing to make a league appearance for the club since New Years day.
