Roma say the club are set to be sold this month to the American businessman Thomas Di Benedetto, a part-owner of the parent company of the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool.

Members of Roma's management have been in the United States for over a week to try to find buyers, and chose Di Benedetto's company Di Benedetto AS Roma LLC ahead of four other offers.

A club announcement said the American company "present themselves as the most competitive offer". The two parties hope to conclude the deal within two weeks.

Di Benedetto is a partner in the Fenway Sports Group, formerly New England Sports Ventures, which owns the Red Sox, Fenway Park, Liverpool, New England Sports Network and Roush-Fenway Racing

Can we have Johnny Rockets back?

NO.
 
Following today’s meeting, Roma have chosen to begin “exclusive negotiations†for the American takeover bid from the five offers received.

A summit was held today between Unicredit bank and the Rothschild financial advisors in charge of seeing through the passage of ownership.

It was confirmed that five offers came in and the American one put forward by Thomas DiBenedetto was considered the most competitive.

“Following the statement released this morning regarding the procedure of selling the controlling shares in AS Roma, Italpetroli announce that today there was a meeting between shareholders, the club and its advisors to examine the five offers received,†read a new Press release.

“After a deep comparison of the documents, we focused on the proposal put forward by American company DiBenedetto AS Roma LLC who, based on the information provided, present themselves as the most competitive offer.

“Italpetroli have asked for the chosen bidder to provide further information on its proposal.

“We predict this to happen over the next few days, so we can quickly decide which is the best way to proceed for defining a period of exclusive negotiations
to conclude the operation.â€

Perhaps that'll allow them to come up with the cash to bring Aquilani home?
 
It's not FSG buying them just one of the part owners along with other investors
