AS Roma President James Pallotta has
warned he will sell up the Serie A club if the Lazio regional
government does not approve its project for a swanky new stadium
in the south of the capital.
Earlier this year the club significantly scaled down the
much-delayed project, inspired by the Colosseum, axing two
office towers to win the backing of new Mayor Virginia Raggi.
"I don't want to sell the club. We think it's a great
opportunity for us to build a competitive team with a stadium
and entertainment centre," the American businessman said in a
telephone interview from Boston, where Roma are currently on
tour.
"But if they don't approve the project, someone will have to
go all the way".
