Albanian oil baron Rezart Taci "could reportedly face competition from the likes of Massimo Moratti should he wish to take over" Serie A side Parma, according to FOOTBALL ITALIA.
Reports indicated that Taci "was in advanced negotiations with current Parma President Tommaso Ghirardi with a view to taking over a controlling interest in the Ducali." The latest rumours suggest that the Albanian "could be rivalled by a number of other potential bidders should Ghirardi be willing to sell up." Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport reported "one alternative bid likely from Massimo Zanetti, owner of the Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group, which claims to be the biggest coffee company in the world" with more than €1B ($1.25B) in revenues last year. Gazzetta di Parma however, believes that former Inter patron Massimo Moratti "could even make a surprise return to calcio after stepping down as honorary Inter President last month."
The newspaper claims that Moratti "had dinner with Parma representatives including Ghirardi with a view to investing in the club" (FOOTBALL ITALIA, 11/11).
