Roma president James Pallotta has said that Alisson will not be leaving the Italian capital this Summer, saying the club is “not a supermarket.”.
As per ESPN, The Roma President denied that the pair would be leaving in the Summer, amid recent reports Liverpool had stepped up efforts to sign the Brazilian.
Since taking over the number one role after the departure of Wojciech Szczesny to Juventus, Alisson has become one of Europe’s top keepers.
Interest from around the continent has obviously increased as a result, but James Pallotta has denied that Alisson or Cengiz Under will be leaving the club this Summer.
Pallotta told Sirius XM radio;
“There’s a frustration on my part that people go ‘Oh, Roma’s a supermarket, We’re not trying to just sell players. We’ve tied Under down on a five-year contract, and the situation’s similar with Alisson.
“I was a fan of his right from day one and I’m glad he’s finally showing how good he is, because he’s been incredible. I think players like [Patrik] Shick are also going to be very useful in the future.
“Monchi has had to face many problems due to financial fair play and there’s still a bit of work to do, but we’ve identified many ways in which we can improve the team in the coming five years.”
Liverpool will perhaps have to look elsewhere if they are to sign a new goalkeeper this Summer.
