Roma president Jim Pallotta is frustrated over the progress of their new stadium plans.
Pallotta has again threatened to walk away if the Stadio della Roma project is not approved.
“The haves are just becoming more and more powerful," Pallotta told the Boston Globe newspaper.
“When you see some of the transfer markets they're talking about now, say Neymar and $200m, I don't think I would do that, even if I had the money. But it's just not something that's feasible except for maybe three, four teams.
“We don't want to sell it. We think there's a huge opportunity for us to build a championship-calibre team with a stadium and an entertainment complex.
“But if they can't get the approval stuff in order, then someone else is going to have to go through with it."
He continued: “I can't walk in Rome more than two minutes without being stopped. So if I'm walking, it's photographers, journalists, or Roma fans wanting to talk, sign something, take a picture. That's in London, Milan, Miami — they're there. They just come up to you. It's constant in a bunch of these places.
“In Rome, it's just crazy. The fanbase in European football, it's usually the only major sport in the city. It goes back much further than teams here. It really is tribal and cultural, way more than it is in US sports. So the fanaticism is on steroids."
