Lanna: “Sale of Sampdoria? We hope to close by the end of September”

Seven months (and a few days) after his inauguration as Sampdoria president, Marco Lanna – former member of Vujadin Boskov’s Sampd’oro tricolor, 31 years ago – draws up an initial assessment of his management and that of the Board of Directors (Bosco, Panconi , Romei, the formation in strict alphabetical order) created to lead the club towards a brighter tomorrow. “Between past, present and future”, the theme of the meeting. And Lanna has retraced this damn complicated period, with a hard-won salvation and a summer market forced by a budget to be kept in balance.

GOOD INTENTIONS

“We tried to work without further debt – explained the president of Sampdoria, who cited Sabiri’s investment as a prudent and winning investment, which cost one million and is now ready for an important future. Lanna’s work, who from the outside had seen firsthand how much people’s passion had cooled, was also to bring together the various souls of cheering around the team and the results are being seen: over 14 thousand subscribers, And it’s not over yet. For the future there is also the idea of ​​an itinerant trip to the nine city municipalities to convey the sense of “Sampdorianity” to the Genoese, as well as an internationalization of the Sampdoria brand, thanks to Sampdoria ambassadors in every corner of the planet and to the creation of a Sampdoria Foundation.
