A day of apparent nothing done regarding the transfer of ownership of Reggina. The sensations that any substantial news could arrive no earlier than two or three days were confirmed. Temporal surprises, as this story has already taught, cannot be ruled out.
It is very likely that we have, however, continued to work under the radar for what now seems the most probable solution. The reference is to the Roman business group which has become the absolute favorite in acquiring the Amaranth club. The rumors speak of a project for which football planning has already been underway for some time, with an organizational chart ready and several players already blocked.
The moment things become official it will also be understood what Claudio Lotito’s possible involvement would be. It must be said, however, that yesterday some press sources reported the statement “just chatter” as his quotation mark in relation to an alleged interest in the Amaranth club.
However, the press conference in which Matt Rizzetta, speaking as president of Campobasso, admitted his great interest in Reggina made the news. An atypical sincerity, especially considering that the operation seems close to coming to an end.
«I have – he declared – a family connection with Reggio Calabria. I grew up following Reggina in Serie A with Amoruso, Cozza, Modesto and Taibi. In Reggio they have boiling blood like myself. They want to win and I took the operation into consideration.”
A sentimental aspect that is linked to business. «In Reggina I saw an opportunity like Naples in 2004, with enormous potential».
