Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker reveals that Napoli attempted to sign him from Roma before he made the decision to move to Merseyside.

Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker has suggested that he was never tempted to join Napoli during his time at Roma.

Before the start of the 2018-19 campaign, Alisson made the decision to leave Stadio Olimpico for Anfield in a deal which could eventually rise to £66.8m.

However, ahead of Liverpool welcoming Napoli to Merseyside in the Champions League on Wednesday night, the Brazilian has revealed that the Serie A outfit also attempted to sign him during that same period.

Alisson told The Independent: "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."

Alisson has made a total of 60 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions.
