News on the sale of Sampdoria, with Meryl Partners taking a step back and withdrawing its offer of thirty million to proceed with the capital increase to which it would have added another 20 million to give oxygen to the club's coffers .

By 28 December, the fund would have requested the reduction of the share capital currently at 14 million euros to then proceed with the second phase of the operation at the shareholders' meeting scheduled for 5 January. A step that did not take place and therefore Alessandro Barnaba's fund would have decided to withdraw from the negotiation considering that without the reduction of the share capital Meryl Partners, after its increase, would still have Massimo Ferrero as a minority shareholder while Barnaba wanted to become the majority shareholder at 100%.

At the moment Meryl Partners is out of the game but remains to the window to see if there could be other developments in the coming months. Meanwhile Ferrero is working with Banca Sistema to get the 30 million needed for the capital increase by pledging the company's shares.
