ROME (ITALPRESS) – The Friedkins are preparing to land in the Premier but are not forgetting about Roma. After a turbulent week at the Giallorossi, with the exoneration of Daniele De Rossi and the arrival of Juric on the bench, the resignation of Ceo Lina Souloukou and the first success in the league, however, which came amid booing and protests, the American ownership is making its voice heard again. And it does so on the day the deal to take over 94 percent of Everton’s shares is made official, a deal that must first get the green light from the Premier, the Federation and the Financial Conduct Authority, however. “Football is appreciated globally for its unique beauty. Every match is full of passion, excitement and unpredictability, and that is why we love it,” Dan and Ryan Friedkin state in a note posted on Roma’s website. “But in addition to results on the field, our responsibility as owners of the club is to make important decisions that we believe are in Roma’s best interest, even when they are extremely difficult. The summer buying campaign marked the beginning of a multi-year strategic project designed to return Roma to the top of European soccer. The development of a new stadium, a key element of this vision, is already underway and will pay tribute to the club’s rich history.” Then comes the passage on De Rossi. “We would like to say this: we have a deep respect for Daniele, convinced that he will have a successful career as a coach, and perhaps one day return to Roma. Separating from him was a very difficult decision, but we took it with the conviction that it is the right way to aim for trophies this season.” And as for the Everton operation, the U.S. group reassures the Giallorossi public by stressing that “it does not change in any way our commitment to Roma. On the contrary, the synergy between the clubs will only benefit Roma. Each club in our portfolio operates independently, and Roma remains at the center of our football ambitions. You can rest assured, our commitment in terms of time, resources and energy toward Roma will not be reduced. Our goal is clear: to see Roma consistently compete at the highest level of European soccer. To you, extraordinary fans: we recognize the great responsibility entrusted to us in leading this historic club. Your unwavering loyalty is our strength as we continue to work toward the future. We value your opinions and want to assure you that we listen to them. You are the soul of the club, and our goal is to make you proud,” Dan and Ryan Friedkin concluded.
