News arrives directly from the United States on a possible change of ownership of Hellas Verona. As reported by Bloombergthe Texan private equity group Presidio Investors is said to be raising 75 million to take over the controlling share of the Verona club, with rumors about the sale of the company having been going on for months now, but without ever reaching an agreement.
Also according to Bloomberg, the company owned by owner Maurizio Setti would be open to both the sale of a majority and a minority stake. In the 2022/23 budget, the latest available, the club recorded a loss of 19.9 million, increased compared to 5.1 in the previous financial year. In the next few weeks we will know more and it will be clear whether a real offer of 75 million euros will arrive.
The words of Sean Sogliano, sporting director of Hellas, two days ago.
“We are in a complicated context, linked to a period of international pause. Our stops are a little more difficult to manage because we have many players who play in different national teams, so many of them are busy elsewhere for international competitions. This makes more complicated for us to work as a group, it is not a moment in which we can work 100%, but it is a difficulty that we share with all the teams. Now we prepare to face Inter, a team of great strength competing against them is not enough to play a good match: you need to give more than 100% to get a positive result. We will do our best to bring home a useful result.”
