Alisson Becker has revealed that Napoli tried to hijack his transfer from Liverpool back in 2018.
The 27-year-old joined Liverpool in the summer of 2018 for a reported £65m fee.
In an exclusive interview with The Independent, ahead of the Reds Champions League clash with Napoli today, November 27, Alisson said: “Napoli tried to bid for me.
"The president came to me, but if I went to Naples from Roma, I was going to put myself in a tough situation in Italy.
“It’s not an official derby, but there’s a big rivalry between the teams. I admire Napoli a lot, they have a top squad and it’s always hard to play against them, especially when they are at home.
“But I was committed to joining Liverpool.”
