Lazio and Lotito Deny Takeover Talks, Report Rumor to Regulators

The publicly listed club is filing with market authorities to safeguard transparency.

Overview

  • Lazio issued an official statement calling reports of negotiations with Qatari or other foreign funds completely false.
  • No offer, expression of interest, or proposal has been received from any potential buyer, according to the club and majority shareholder Claudio Lotito.
  • The club says it is notifying CONSOB and Borsa Italiana and will pursue judicial steps to identify who spread the claims.
  • Officials described the story as a fabrication intended to undermine supporters and the team’s stock-market standing.
  • The denial comes after recent financial scrutiny tied to COVISOC’s findings and a summer transfer ban, with fan pressure for a sale continuing in the background.
