The controversy erupted after a leaked phone call in which Lotito bragged to Ischia director Pino Iodice that he had brokered an agreement between Sky Sport Italia and Mediaset.

“It is ironic that as the EPL announces dramatic media rights increases, a certain individual tries to take credit for the most Italian recent ‎media deal,” read a statement released by Roma President Pallotta.

“It was actually thanks to ‎clubs like ours and others pushing a new vision that certain gains were made.

“We are also confident there was more upside for the Lega that went unrealized due to this individual.

“Congratulations to the EPL on their agreements – it is well deserved. The global market confirms the opportunity is there for us too.

“To grasp it, though, all Italian teams must look forward, working together, in a transparent manner to move us back to where we belong.”
