AS Roma has reportedly met with a Chinese delegation "interested in becoming minority shareholders," according to FOOTBALL ITALIA. AC Milan gave "exclusive rights to a Chinese investment group ahead of a potential takeover on Tuesday," while Inter is "in the process of selling a minority share to the Suning Commerce Group." It now appears that the Giallorossi is "the latest Serie A club to attract investors from China" after reports emerged of a meeting. Corriere dello Sport reported there was a meeting between a Chinese delegation and two representatives of AS Roma. The visitors "either expressed an interest in becoming minority shareholders in the club or discussed the possibility of a sponsorship deal, according to the newspaper" (FOOTBALL ITALIA, 5/12).
