Russian revolution for Roma?
Tuesday 10 February, 2004
Roma have dismissed stories suggesting that they have received a bid for the club from a Russian petrol giant.
Reports in Italy suggested that Valery Simenov was ready to make Franco Sensi an offer to buy the side.
Unconfirmed stories in the peninsula on Tuesday said that Nafta Moskva are prepared to pay around £270m for the capital outfit.
The Giallorossi are in a difficult financial situation right now but there may be the possibility of a Chelsea-type take over.
It was alleged that Nafta Moskva have already made contact with the Olimpico outfit to test the water.
Owner Sensi has admitted that he can’t stay in charge of his beloved club forever, given his age, which may have opened the door for a new era.
Speculation suggests that Sensi could net around £65m for the side, with the rest of the money used to clear debts and strengthen the squad.
It’s also been claimed that boss Fabio Capello would be instantly handed close to £40m to spend on the transfer market if the deal goes through.
Roma could certainly use the money right now, especially in trying to keep Emerson at the club for next season.
The Brazilian has yet to agree terms over a new contract and he will be sold in the summer if no extension can be finalised.
