A group of U.S. investors led by Thomas DiBenedetto, part owner of the Boston Red Sox, will hold exclusive talks to buy three-time Italian soccer champion AS Roma with the club’s owners, UniCredit SpA and the Sensi family.
Julian Movsesian, a member of the bidding group, said in a telephone interview that the U.S. investors hope to conclude the deal in about two weeks. He said UniCredit was likely to keep a minority stake in the club, which was founded in 1927 and last won the Serie A title in 2001.
