ROME, PALLOTTA OPENS ITS DOORS TO CHINESE: “WELCOME WITH THEM PLEASE”
“We welcome the opportunity to work with qualified partners from all over the world that can support our initiative to make Rome one of the most prestigious clubs in the world .” With these words, James Pallotta , number 1 of the Rome opened its doors to Chinese investors interested in the clubs of the capital.
What has changed with respect to the presidential outburst on Sunday? Pallotta was confronted with Fiorentino . And together we have established a sort of armistice to end the game . In silence, possibly. Yesterday morning the same Fiorentino , number 3 of Unicredit and adviser of the club, was received into the Roman seat of Consob with the lawyer Hats, vice president of Rome. Later, for reasons of time zone , was heard by videoconference from the States the majority shareholder of the Neep , or the legal representative of AS Roma LLC SVP : Daniel Hart Quirrell ‘s attorney Pallotta . In Piazza Verdi is also presented dg Giallorossi Baldissoni , which then together with the Americans was involved in the drafting of the statement required by Consob. ” The majority shareholder – the statement – was made aware of the talks between Unicredit and a potential Chinese investor regarding a possible sale of the whole or part of the investment held by the bank in Neep .” Americans , however, specify ” that there have been no formal talks or negotiations regarding a capital increase of the holding company ” and point out that neither they nor the bank have not received ” any formal proposal . ”
From Boston reaffirm their willingness to maintain the ” strictest of confidence ” and invite the bank to do the same , but the tones are very different from those used by Pallotta Sundays. Unicredit is now ready to move from the current 31 % to a share of around 5% in order to maintain the right of veto over certain operations. With the help of the advisor Rothschild and a law firm in Milan the rich group Hna travels rapidly towards the signing of the preliminary agreement . With an initial ” check ” from 25000000-30000000 take a share of 20-25 % from the bank , through the establishment of a Newco . Then he will work alongside the Americans to build an even bigger Rome and enhance its brand in the Asian market . If you will agree, and Chen Feng will not have lust for climbing, can be born an interesting combination . Until the next negotiation.
