Nicola Canonico
Obviously the issue of the rejected appeal against Taranto and the consequent playoff grid confirmed for Tuesday 7 May from 8.30pm is the focal point of the week that is coming to a close, but the possible corporate transfers of some Serie C clubs can only have equal importance.
This is why we focus on the latest home developments Foggia And Pescarawith the devils who – according to the latest statement from the Rossoneri number one Nicola Canonico – they seem to be well advanced on the road to a new stars and stripes ownership while the Dauphin follows with interest the statements of the (outgoing?) president Daniele Sebastiani.
So it would be MergersCorp M&A International, a company specialized in Corporate Finance and Corporate Finance activities, following the group interested in taking over the ownership of Calcio Foggia. Canonico’s confidentiality on the negotiation lasted just under 24 hours, the confidentiality agreement on the operations expired on Friday and the pressure from the press and fans led the owner to clarify the Americans who approached the Rossoneri club: it seems are the same ones who already wanted to acquire another Apulian club, that of Fidelis Andria, a year ago. The contacts have been continuing for a good four months (again according to Canonico) and the negotiation should presuppose the total transfer of the shares (including the 49% held by Pintus and on which a judicial dispute is still pending). In a (joint) statement the owner reiterated his desire to “open a dialogue for the sale of the club, when, in my place, someone serious and reliable came forward. The news that has emerged in recent days, regarding a negotiation that has been going on for some time for the purchase of the Rossoneri club, correspond to the truth and confirm my intentions to leave the Foggia project in solid and safe hands”. Details of the operation are expected to be explained at a press conference which is rumored to take place as early as Monday.
However, as regards Pescara, as already highlighted, it was president Daniele Sebastiani who spoke to Rete8: “Our professionals who are working in Milan told me that there is also an Italian entrepreneur interested in Pescara. Ours is a company that arouses a lot of interest. Negotiations with other interlocutors are also progressing and I hope to close with one of these as soon as possible, I have not set a deadline, I am ready to guarantee registration as I have always said, but it is It’s clear that sooner or later the time for choices will come, I’m referring to the coach and the sporting director. Now Cascione and Delli Carri have their contracts expiring, because I want to leave my hands free to whoever arrives.” Over time, a German fund, an American fund and this last Italian entrepreneur, who has already been in the world of football in the past and who seems intent on presenting an official expression of interest in the next few days, have approached the Delfino. However, little filters through even on this front because everything is covered with the utmost confidentiality. However, there is also a so-called ‘Plan B’, i.e. the entry of new members to support the current presidency. We talk about Luciano Campitelli as of a plausible name, more than that of Andrea Pecorellicurrent number 1 of Avezzano, who in recent weeks had lunch with Sebastiani.
