Marca believe every player on the planet has some kind of desire to play for Real Madrid.
Just like the Catalan media believe everyone wants to play for Barcelona, the Madrid leaning media obviously go the other way.
A lot of the time it’s likely correct, many footballers will dream of playing for either Real Madrid or Barcelona, but Marca believe there’s even more backing them up on AS Roma’s Alisson Becker.
The Spanish newspaper say Liverpool are also keen on Alisson, something which has been repeatedly reported for months. Both the English and Italian media have gone with Liverpool claims, with sources from Brazil also joining in, and it’s thought Jurgen Klopp is keen on the goalkeeper.
Marca quote Alisson as saying: “I am very happy to have recognition. It means that I’m doing my job well. Even more so when you hear about Madrid.”
That’s the newspaper’s back-up for believing Real Madrid have a distinct advantage over Liverpool and anyone else in the race to sign the Roma goalkeeper.
Despite that, Real Madrid interest in the Brazilian still doesn’t feel particularly concrete. Let battle commence.
