Concerns Roma lack ambition now after world record sale. But the offer is too good to refuse!
Alisson: Roma defend decision to sell goalkeeper to Liverpool
Selling Alisson to Liverpool does not show "a lack of ambition", says Roma's director of football Monchi, who admits the transfer of the Brazilian is "tough" for fans to take.
"When a very substantial offer comes in you have to consider it," said Monchi. "We weighed up the pros and cons and decided to speak to Liverpool."
"Selling Alisson would not show a lack of ambition. For me, ambition is about doing the right thing after thinking everything through."
Monchi added: "I understand the fans' view. I want them to know we're working to build a stronger team. Some people never thought we'd be able to sign Kluivert. The same goes for Pastore. Perhaps today is tough for some fans, but we've brought in top players.
"I came here to build a strong team, not just for one year but for many years to come - and I'm 100% sure that will be the case."
