A change of scenery for Florian Thauvin’s club? According to the Corriere dello Sportcited by Football and Finance And Udinetodaynegotiations for the takeover of the Italian club Udinese are reportedly underway with Sergey Lomakin, a Russian tycoon who also holds a Cypriot passport, with a personal fortune estimated at $1.7 billion. Lomakin made his fortune by co-founding the discount supermarket chain Fix Price, which today has around 4,000 outlets in Belarus, Georgia, Latvia and Russia. His involvement in the world of football is not new. Owner of three other football teams, RFS Riga in Latvia, Pafos in Cyprus and Rodina Moscow, a Russian Serie B team, he also tried to buy AS Saint-Etienne a few years ago.
However, this new project will not be an easy task for the 51-year-old billionaire. According to information fromIl Messaggero Venetothe Pozzo family would not wish to disengage from football and especially from Udinese, for which they would rather accept a partnership to develop the club in the future, placing themselves as guarantors of the project, as happened in Bergamo with Atalanta, still led by the Percassi family, despite the entry of American capital.
