Andrea Radrizzani has taken to Twitter to celebrate the start of a new chapter with Sampdoria. Radrizzani, who is in the process of selling Leeds United to 49ers Enterprises, has been finalising the takeover of Sampdoria for some time after striking a deal to purchase the club last month.
That saga has rumbled on with budgets needing to be approved in order for the Italian’s next venture to be officially rubber stamped. However, it seems the final hurdle has been cleared with reports in Italy claiming they have been passed through following a shareholders’ meeting.
The step means Sampdoria can now officially register as a Serie B club, following their relegation from the top flight, and the club can now begin to get ready for the new season under the ownership of Radrizzani and Matteo Manfredi. Without such approval there was a fear the Genoa-based outfit could miss the deadline to register and potentially miss out on a spot in the second tier entirely.
