A month later, supporters are still awaiting the arrival of new investors. If the timing has obviously taken a delay, the discussions are continuing in the right direction. In December, we revealed to you the presence in Sclessin, for the Walloon shock, of Russian investors. This track could lead to the billionaire Sergey Lomakin who was interested in the takeover of Saint-Étienne.
Last month, we also specify that American investors from baseball had visited the club’s facilities and attended the match against Club Brugge. “There is more interest from abroad than from Belgium”, confided to us Bruno Venanzi in November 2021. Thus, it comes back to us that South Korean candidates were also entitled to their visit to the club last month. Finally, the American company 777 Partners, which recently bought Genoa from Zinho Vanheusden, is also a candidate.
According to our information, Bruno Venanzi now has three binding offers (he had one in November and two non-binding ones). The deadline for the submission of binding bids is Friday, February 18th. After this time, Bruno Venanzi will make his final choice and conduct exclusive negotiations with the chosen candidate.
