Stephen Pagliuca has a decision to make over his co-ownership of Atalanta, with the deadline for the Chelsea takeover looming. Any interested parties have until 10pm on Thursday evening to submit all of their official bids and necessary documentation to Raine group
Pagliuca is firmly among the contenders to become Roman Abramovich ’s successor at Stamford Bridge and will certainly hope to fight-off competition from the Ricketts family, as well as consortiums spearheaded by Todd Boehly and Sir Martin Broughton. With just a few hours to set out his future intentions, he has been pictured giving some attention to Atalanta supporters ahead of their key Europa League clash with German side RB Leipzig.
In pictures obtained by TuttoAtalanta, Pagliuca was shown saluting supporters ahead of kick-off, adorned with a scarf bathed in the blue and black of the Atalanta home shirt. He was reportedly alongside historic club patron Luca Percassi.
