Roma president Pallotta insists Alisson not for sale

Roma president James Pallotta insists Alisson Becker is not for sale.

Alisson is wanted by Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.

Pallotta said: “I don't understand why people keep asking me if Alisson will be our goalkeeper next season. We have no intention of selling him. No chance.

“We thought he was a great goalkeeper when we signed him and there is no way we are selling."

Pallotta celebrated the victory over Barcelona by diving into a fountain, earning him a fine when he met up with Mayor of Rome Virginia Raggi to discuss the stadium project.

“We talked more than anything else about money. She fined me, I have to give the Mayor €240,000. And the water was cold…"

How will he celebrate if the Giallorossi beat Liverpool in the semi-final?

“There are many fountains in Rome. I could even go to the Colosseum."
