Ja, Het zijn mooie winsten, maar het komt door onderstaande: ( Overige Italiaanse clubs liften mee op basis van lucht!!) een voetbalclub welke op de beurs 170 miljoen waard is, maar een omzet van 124 miljoen draait en zwaar verlies lijdt is geen 170 miljoen waard!!!! geldt ook voor dat stomme Juve en Lazio, dus snel verpatsen!! maar had je ze, gefeliciteerd !!! een TOP RENDEMENT!! Het kan echter zeker nog veel hoger, lees hieronder maar.... (maar dat is niet beleggen, maar gokken)
AS Roma, the Italian Serie A football club put up for sale by UniCredit, has received nearly a dozen expressions of interest from investors, including individuals from the US, China, Russia and India.
The sale of AS Roma, which has a market capitalisation of €140m ($196m), comes amid heightened investor interest in European football clubs. Liverpool, the UK premier league club, is currently in the middel of a legal battle over a sale to the owners of the Boston Red Sox baseball team.
One of Europe’s most renowned clubs, AS Roma is languishing at the bottom of its league. It was put on the block by Italian bank UniCredit in lieu of long outstanding debt repayments owed to the bank by the club’s parent company, Italpetroli.
In response to a memorandum on the club, nearly a dozen individuals considered to be serious contenders have expressed an interest in taking it over, according to several sources familiar with the deal.
More than half of the expressions of interest came from outside Italy, the sources said.
Naguib Sawiris, the Egyptian businessman who owns telecom provider Wind and is a sponsor of AS Roma, has also said publicly in recent days that he is interested in acquiring the club.
In contrast to the Liverpool sale process, where fans would prefer to keep the club in English hands, parties close to AS Roma, including Rome’s mayor Gianni Alemanno, have said they are open to foreign ownership as a means of reinvigorating the team.
Binding offers are expected before the middle of November, and it is hoped the deal should close by the end of the year, according to several sources. The club could potentially fetch €170m to €200m, according to financial sources.
Finalising the sale within that timeframe could prove difficult though, not least because the club does not own its own stadium, say football experts. AS Roma’s unusually lowly position in the Serie A could complicate any deal, as could the process of splitting the club constitutionally from its holding company, say experts.
UniCredit took control of AS Roma in July in an attempt to recoup at least some of the long overdue repayments on the €400m of debt held by Italpetroli. The bank appointed Rothschild as advisers to the sale. UniCredit owns 49 per cent of Italpetroli, which in turn owns 67 per cent of AS Roma, with the rest listed on the Milan stock exchange.
Under Italian law, any single shareholder owning more than 30 per cent in a company must launch a full takeover.
