Roma confirm takeover bid
Roma’s holding company have confirmed an offer was made by a potential buyer, fuelling reports George Soros is on the verge of taking over.
The past few months have seen repeated rumours that American millionaire Soros was planning a takeover bid for the Giallorossi, though up until now they have been strongly denied.
However, today the official club website released a statement on the matter.
“Yesterday a representative given this charge by Compagnia Italpetroli S.p.a was visited by a representative of someone potentially interested in buying up the shares of AS Roma,” read the statement.
Italpetroli are the company founded in the 1960s by President Franco Sensi and are the majority shareholders in the side.
Although there are no specific names in the release, it is believed Soros is behind it and is preparing a massive investment to buy out the Sensi family.
He would pump the cash back into the team and the transfer kitty, creating a world beating squad for next season.
“I don’t know anything about it, so I will continue to act the way I always have,” commented Luciano Spalletti.
“The owners of this club worked hard to improve the team and give moments of great joy to the fans, so I think we will continue along this path and keep on planning.”

This is sad.I wanted to see him get a phenomenal reception in his final Milan game..and im sure that wouldve take place,not by just Milan supporters,but by supporters of the opponents too.And he would deserve every microsecond if it.
I still hope he can take some part in Milan's final game.Even if its something along the lines of an injured Shearer starting a Newcastle game and being substituted the moment the game kicked off,or like the time Ciro was brought on at the end of a match to get his 500th Serie A game.

Roma snub Soros for Arabs
Just as Roma seemed set for a takeover by American magnate George Soros, the club announces “another group can guarantee double his offer.”
The Sensi family seem ready to sell up their stake in the Scudetto contenders and confirmed negotiations were held with a potential buyer this week.
The rumours of Soros’ interest have been circulating for many months, but this is the first time there has been some official word on the matter.
Representatives of Inner Circle Sports – Steven Horowitz and Philip Hall – were said to be confident the deal would be completed quickly.
However, a stunning development shook both Soros and Roma supporters, as talk of a new bid from an Arab conglomerate emerged.
“The offer no longer satisfies us. We need more time to consider it, as there is another group that can guarantee double,” revealed Sensi family lawyer Gian Roberto De Giovanni.
A bidding war could well break out for AS Roma, although there is the risk the Sensi administration could be left in the lurch.
It is rumoured Soros did not take kindly to the snub and is considering shelving his interest altogether.
