New AS Roma owner Thomas Di Benedetto insists he has no conflict of interest with Liverpool.
Di Benedetto also has a take in Fenway Group, the owners of Liverpool.
Di Benedetto's legal team spoke to Italian news agency Ansa.
"Article 3 in the UEFA rules would not be brought into play in this instance. There is no conflict of interest in the purchase of AS Roma."
The UEFA rules called on by The Guardian state: "No individual or legal entity may have control or influence over more than one club participating in a UEFA club competition".
This is defined as "holding a majority of the shareholders' voting rights" or "being able to exercise by any means a decisive influence in the decision-making of the club", among other things.
