The Real carrot for the veteran coach would be the significant salary increase and the opportunity to give European football a shot with some familiar faces - Casimero and Marcelo - at his disposal. The Spaniards have also been heavily linked with Neymar Jr. and promising Santos forward Rodrygo.

The 25-year-old is said to be a target of Chelsea and Real. Liverpool's Roberto Firmino told reporters earlier this week that his compatriot has been quizzing him about Anfield, Jurgen Klopp and the Liverpool squad.
Liverpool have a top-class goalkeeper high on their list of priorities and Alisson would be a marked improvement over Loris Karius and Simon Mignolet.
The whole matter may not be resolved now until after the World Cup and, if Real get Tite, a few Brazilians - Alisson included - may follow their national coach to Madrid.Football
