Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis Implies Liverpool & Roma Could Have 'Shared Ownership'

Napoli chief Aurelio De Laurentiis has accused Liverpool and AS Roma of sharing a secret owner in the wake of Alisson's sensational move to Anfield.

The president of the Naples outfit has revealed that his side had also made an offer for the Brazilian stopper but they were turned down, only for the player to leave for the Premier League and join ranks with Liverpool.

Roma and Liverpool are both owned by Americans. Billionaire James Pallotta owns the Italian side, while the Fenway Sports Group, managed by John W Henry, are in charge of the Reds.
