(ANSA) – ROME, APRIL 12 – “We wish to reaffirm the commitment of our family and our partners towards Atalanta and our partnership with the Percassi family.
We are long-term partners and enthusiastic to continue the success of the club. “The American businessman Stephen Pagliuca silences, with this note, the voices that would like him to be disengaged from Atalanta to bet everything on the purchase of Chelsea, the club of which he remains one of the potential buyers (the others are Todd Boehly of the LA Dodgers, the Ricketts family and Martin Broughton of International Airlines Group). a “substantial and credible offer, we expect it to meet the requirements and regulations of the Premier League, the UK government and UEFA, and we are committed to honoring our commitment to the credibility and good protection of Chelsea Football Club from day one” .
But this does not mean that he wants to get rid of Atalanta whose board, just yesterday, Pagliuca had formally joined together with his son Joseph Case. The American businessman who with his American investment fund Capital Bain is already co-owner of the Boston Celtics of the NBA, therefore remains the majority shareholder of the Dea with 47.5% of the Nerazzurri’s shares, while Percassi, who continues to hold the role of president, holds 39%. The remaining 13.5% is distributed among the minor Bergamo shareholders. (HANDLE).
