Sheikh Mohammed: No Roma bid
Roma’s majority shareholders have denied reports that an offer has been received from the Dubai Investment Capital group.
DIC, who have previously tried to buy Liverpool, have been linked with a takeover bid for Italian giants Roma.
Sheikh Mohammed confirmed that DIC was exploring the possibility of acquiring a controlling stake in Roma, which is currently held by Italpetroli SpA.
But Italpetroli has issued a statement to reject the reports, insisting that no offer has been received from DIC.
“No offer has been formalised from (a foreign investor) or by others that the press describes as potentially interested and that, therefore, all the news that has appeared in recent days about bids being rejected are to be considered completely without foundation,” read the statement.
“Compagnia Italpetroli also considered it appropriate to clarify that it has not received an offer from the Royal family of the United Arab Emirates.”
American billionaire George Soros has previously been linked with a bid for Roma, although Italpetroli are not in the throes of an imminent sale of their shareholding.
