“I’ll build the stadium and then I’ll buy Lazio”

The rumors of an alleged disengagement of Valerio Antonini in Trapani sport they now appear distant, despite dating back to a few days ago.

The owner of Trapani Shark and the local football team, after promotion to Serie A in basketball and to Serie C in the first national sport, relaunches with ambitious projects.

Antonini spoke about the new stadium which he will build in place of the Provincial, of which he obtained the management for 99 years. The new facility will have 23 thousand seats, it will cost 55 million of euros but will be able to generate 25 in profits for each year, “revenue which together with the television rights will allow us to compete in Serie A every year”, explained the president. There will be 46 suitesa shopping center with luxury brands, two restaurants from which you can watch the match and be powered entirely by renewable energy. When will it be ready? “In two years – declares the owner -, if the works start by the end of this year, in December 2026 we will have the first match, at least in Serie B”.

But Antonini moves from goals to dreams. After having achieved everything he has in mind in Trapani, he would like to buy Lazio, a team he is a fan of. He told it to RadioSeias taken from LazioPress.

A dream I’ve had since I was a child, now I don’t feel ready and there is a great president like Lotito but in a few years, if he’s tired, I’ll make an offer. I don’t feel like I can do it today because I have no experience and as a Lazio fan I would feel so responsible that I would be afraid of making a mistake. I’m studying many things that ordinary people don’t know about the background and the functioning of a football club. I have immense respect for the manager Claudio Lotito. I criticize him for poor communication management, he has never given fans the idea of ​​dreaming. When you evaluate an investment like that, your own capital is not enough, you need relationships with investment funds, entrepreneurs and the banking system to recover the expense within 10-15 years.
