Roma Deny Receiving Takeover Offer
Italpetroli, the parent company of Roma, have issued a statement in which they have denied receiving an offer to take over the club.
Reports have been strengthening in the Italian media for quite sometime now that Roma are set to be taken over due to the fact that Italpetroli possess debts in the region of €370m.
Last week it was reported in the press that Roma had rejected an offer from American billionaire George Soros, in order to listen to a bid from an Arab corporation. Italpetroli have today moved to categorically deny all such talk.
“Not one offer has been formalised on the behalf of a foreign subject,” reads an official statement.
“Therefore, all the reports that have appeared in the Press in the last few days regarding the rejection of an offer are without foundation.
“Italpetroli would like to take this opportunity to confirm, contrary to how much has been reported, that we have not received an offer from the Royal Family of the Arab Emirates.
“Nor has there been any contact with their delegates with respect to the sale of our controlling stake.”
