[肥皂劇] Soros Ends Roma Takeover Bid
http://china.goal.com/en/Articolo.aspx?ContenutoId=721851
According to reports in Italy, American businessman George Soros has told
Roma that he has dropped all plans to take over the club.
The Italian press has been full of reports this year that Roma will be sold
to new owners due to the fact that the club’s parent company, Italpetroli,
possess debts in the region of €370m.
Many of the groups linked with a take-over have all been led by American
businessmen. The name most associated has been that of 78-year-old
billionaire George Soros.
Soros’ apparent attempt to buy Roma has become something of a soap opera,
with claims and counter-claims from both sides about whether the deal was
ever going to go through.
On Monday of last week it was claimed in the the Gazzetta Dello Sport that
Soros was 24 hours away from buying Roma, and was offering €283m including €
219m for the family's 66 percent stake in the club.
However the next day Il Romanista claimed that Soros had pulled the plug on
all plans to buy Roma.
A new story then broke which stated that New York criminal defense lawyer
Joseph Tacopina, backed financially by Soros, was himself 24 hours away from
purchasing the club.
This never materialised, and the confusion is still ongoing. However, latest
reports are adamant that Soros has definitely pulled out of any plans to buy
the club, and will play no part in any possible buyout.
