Roma and The Friedkin Group have released a joint statement confirming the cost of the takeover from James Pallotta is €591m, including the cost over covering their debt.
As the Giallorossi are floated on the Italian stock exchange, they are forced to release statements to the CONSOB.
This confirms they “might also be aimed at delisting Team” – in other words, taking Roma off the stock exchange.
