In fact, AS Roma Press maintain Ryan Friedkin has already been in Europe for almost three weeks, so does not require a self-isolation period due to COVID-19 restrictions.
He can therefore be present at the announcement in Rome on Monday.
Other members of the Board of Directors are reported to be Marc Watts, Eric Felen Wiliamson III, Brian Walker and Analaura Moreira Dunkel.
A seventh figure could well be Alessandro Barnaba, a Roman banker who worked with Friedkin in the negotiations for the takeover.
