Roma boss confirms talks with Russian tycoons
ROME (AP) -- AS Roma could be the next major soccer club to benefit from the riches of Russian oil tycoons.
Roma president Franco Sensi was quoted on the front pages of Italy's two biggest sports dailies Tuesday as saying he was in talks to sell the club to Russian oil company Nafta Moskva.
"There are negotiations, but they will go on for a while," Sensi was quoted as saying in the Gazzetta dello Sport and Corriere dello Sport. "If it happens, I'll remain honorary president."
While only five points behind Serie A leader AC Milan, Roma is struggling financially and is said to be euro250 million (US$315 million) in debt. The club has delayed paying players' salaries for months.
Fans of the club are hoping Russian investment could be along the lines of Roman Abramovich's purchase of English Premiership club Chelsea in June and the consequent 100 million pounds (US$160 million) spent on buying 13 new players that followed.
Suleiman Kerimov, one of the main shareholders of Nafta, is said to be a friend of Abramovich's and reports have suggested Nafta has offered Roma euro400 million (US$502 million) for control of the club.
Roma issued a statement Tuesday denying that any deal was underway and Rome mayor Walter Veltroni said earlier this month that he would do his best "to make sure Roma remains for the Romans."
Sensi is in his 10th season as club president. Roma won the 2000-01 Serie A title under his direction.
