AS Roma's president says latest bid from US investor "wasn't close to being acceptable"

James Pallotta

PA Images | "The last semi-concrete offer we received – some of the details of which seem to have been leaked by either their lawyers or bankers – just wasn't close to being acceptable," James Pallotta said in a statement on the club's website.

Majority shareholder and president of the club, James Pallotta, rejected a revised bid for the club of €575 million from American investor Daniel Friedkin in May.

Pallotta would be open to discussing with Friedkin's group again if they table an acceptable offer.
