Saudi Arabia is not only buying up big-name players for its championship, but also wants to take over one of the Serie A giants - Roma.
According to La Repubblica, Saudi Arabia has started negotiations with Roma owner Dan Friedkin to buy the club. The Saudis have made an offer of 900 million euros, and could contribute another 200 or 300 million if the Rome City Council approves the project for a new stadium in the Pietralata neighbourhood. It is noted that the parties are negotiating, but Friedkin does not want to sell the club.
Recall, in the standings of the Italian championship "Roma" is now on the fifth line with 38 points. From the first place the team is 19 points behind.
