An Arab consortium interested in purchasing Cuneo? On the occasion of Cuneo-Acqui an emissary arrived from Riyadh was present at the stadium, after having visited the club’s sports center the day before. But why would an Arab consortium be interested in taking over a club that plays in Excellence? The General Director of the club explains it, Valter Vercellone:
“It is a question that is actually legitimate to ask – he reports Cuneodice.it -: however, they are relatively interested in the first team category, it is not one of the factors that has the greatest impact. What counts more is the attention to the youth sector and the fact that we are a Juventus Academy, which in their area is a very important brand. We were reported to him for this, also thanks to the awards at the last Golden Boy as a leading club for the youth sector, in fact. We received a phone call which actually surprised us a little, but which we were honored and proud of.” The visit to the city was positive: “He was able to see our center and above all appreciated our genuineness and transparency, the that is, we are people who work and do all this with great passion”.
The parties – we read – have given themselves a month to reflect, with the Arab consortium which will have to respond to the wedge. If the negotiation were to go through, the will of the Arabs would be to leave the economic management of the company to those who currently work for Cuneo, with obviously a much better economic strength.
