Sale Samp, Lanna: “With salvation the something concrete”

“There are some expressions of interest for Sampdoria. I think and hope that once they have been saved they can become something more concrete.” Sampdoria president Marco Lanna, two days after the victory in the return derby, spoke this morning about the future of Sampdoria speaking on “Radio Rai”.

For months now, the trustee Vidal (in fact the real owner of Sampdoria after Massimo Ferrero left the scene) has been working in search of subjects interested in taking over the Corte Lambruschini company. There have been many expressions of interest to date, even if there have been no further more concrete steps by the interested parties. To whom, however, Vidal asks first of all to know the subjects really interested in the club (beyond possible different front representations) and their economic capacity to support such an investment.

careful management

The task of the Genoese Marco Lanna, former player of the tricolor “Sampd’oro” with Vujadin Boskov 31 years ago, and of the Board of Directors who works with him, who took office at the end of 2021, is that of prudent asset management of the Sampdoria company , waiting for a future still to be written. It is clear that now everyone’s wish, when salvation is arithmetically conquered, is to find a buyer capable of reviving Sampdoria. The team will be heavily rejuvenated, considering that in the last market the club worked mainly on loans for two main reasons. The first, economic: today it is unthinkable to sustain efforts on the market with a view to uncertainty about tomorrow. The second, managerial: it would not have been correct towards the future owner to have new members sign medium-long contracts.

accounts in red

However, the heavy burden of the accounts remains. Whoever buys Sampdoria will in fact also have to take on an important liability (over one hundred million): the last balance sheet at the end of 2021 closed with a loss of 24 million, but with the postponement of depreciation. And that already in 2020 the budget loss accounted for was 14 million, but the real figure was actually higher.

Yes Giampaolo

Lana also confirmed the agreement with the coach Marco Giampaolo, who will coach Sampdoria again next season, thanks to the automatic renewal of the contract until 2024 in case of salvation. Which, by now, is really one step away.
