RomaPress – The lights are on, the stage is set: Dan Friedkin is finally ready to complete his takeover of AS Roma.

The American tycoon and CEO of The Friedkin Group will begin the process of closing the acquisition of Roma next Friday, 28 February. The closing process and signatures will be taking place in Houston, Texas — the headquarters of The Friedkin Group. A member of Friedkin’s legal team confirmed late this evening to RomaPress that the 54 year-old will begin the acquisition process in America late next week.

The negotiations that have taken over four months between James Pallotta’s Raptor Group and Friedkin are finally nearing their conclusion: AS Roma is about to be passed into the hands of Dan Friedkin.
