Vidal, the only person authorized to negotiate the possible sale of the club, is working to find potential buyers. Radrizzani, Volpi and Vialli could soon come forward
The first, important manifestations of interest in Sampdoria arrived yesterday at the Venetian accountant Gianluca Vidal, a member of the resigning board of the Sampdoria club as well as head of the trust (called Rosan) set up to protect the Corte Lambruschini company. Did Gianluca Vialli move with his American financial partner Dinan? Or are there other buyers on the horizon, with recurring rumors about Andrea Radrizzani (patron of Leeds, but out) and the former patron of Spezia, Volpi? Vidal, the only person authorized to negotiate the possible sale of the club, is at work, but these are still surveys with potential buyers absolutely independent from what will be the first developments expected from mid-month onwards in terms of arrangements with creditors. Requested, in fact, at the Court of Rome by Massimo Ferrero to avoid the bankruptcy of Eleven Finance and Farvem. An operation stalled due to the dispute made by a foreign financial company, based on a different interpretation of a set of contracts that would lead to a credit claim of this subject. Until before the arrest, Ferrero was confident (after the presentation of a substantial memoir) to be able to continue with the procedure. Now everything is more uncertain.
Parallel streets

The eventual Sampdoria sale negotiation, however, can travel on a separate track, but the latest events seem destined to accelerate this process. In any case, at present the Corte Lambruschini club can continue its activity by drawing on internal resources. In addition to Vidal, the company’s operations are guaranteed by Alberto Bosco, while the sports management is entrusted in this interregnum to the sports director Daniele Faggiano, who is living his daily life alongside D’Aversa’s team. All this, pending the next meeting of Sampdoria shareholders, called just yesterday for next December 23, before Christmas Eve. That will be the formal step that will have to appoint the new Board of Directors (and the president), which expired with the resignation of president Ferrero.
Interrogation tomorrow?
–
In the meantime, the day Ferrero spent yesterday in the Milanese prison of San Vittore, where he arrived on Monday evening accompanied by the Guardia di Finanza, did not show any news, but it was undoubtedly less tense than that of twenty-four ‘hours earlier, when he had been picked up from the hotel in Milan by the financiers. The situation of the president, after the illness accused on his arrival in prison due to some problems of increased blood pressure and nosebleeds following stress, has stabilized. The fact remains that yesterday’s feast day in Milan, and today’s solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, logically led to the postponement of the guarantee interrogation which will therefore take place between tomorrow and Friday. The lawyers are confident that they will be able to clarify (and lighten) the position of Ferrero, thus arriving at the attenuation of the extent of custody in prison. The president’s lawyers, Giuseppina Tenga and Luca Ponti, were unable to meet their client yesterday, but it is not excluded that this could happen today. The Genoan president Zangrillo also spoke on the matter yesterday. Few words, but full of understanding: “I live this moment with a lot of respect and regret”.
