Fri April 23, 2004 4:20 AM MILAN (Reuters) - Italian soccer club AS Roma said on Thursday it would need to sell players to meet payments due in the next couple of months, including a deposit to play in next season's championship.
Roma's shareholders met on Thursday to approve a 150 million euro capital increase and said it was meeting back payments of players salaries and taxes. The capital hike, which can be paid for in cash or swapping debt for equity, will run until July 31.
The club and its owners have struck a series of deals to restructure its finances and keep it on the pitch, but Roma said it was still 15 million euros short of the 93 million it will need to pay by June 30 in bills and deposits.
"That shortfall could be covered by income from trading players in the summer transfer season," Roma said.
Roma's most valuable assets are its players. Chief among them is captain Francesco Totti, who has recently said he might leave the club, creating a media frenzy over how many millions the soccer star could fetch.
At the end of February, the club's net debt stood at 241 million euros and is still paying off some player salaries from last year. Roma said it had met last September's payments in March and was now paying off October, December and January.
大意：周四，罗马股东大会做出决议，同意增资1.5亿欧元，以支付球员工资，清偿所欠税款。
罗马俱乐部和股东们已经采取了一系列措施重整俱乐部的财政，但罗马俱乐部宣布，所需的1.5亿欧元的资金中，仍然有9300万需要筹集。这笔债务需要在6月30日之前，以现金支付或担保方式清偿。罗马俱乐部宣布，“这一缺口可以通过夏季转会时出售球员莱弥补。”
说明：路透社的新闻里，很耸人听闻的部分是用红颜色注明的部分，这一内容官方网站里没有，也没有在其他来源的新闻中看见。
总之，这个说法是与楼上帖子中巴尔迪尼的说法相矛盾的。目前个人我相信俱乐部的说法。
因为9300万的缺口意味着罗马至少需要卖出3名最好的球员。那样的罗马，是不符合巴尔迪尼所说的罗马的。
