Fede Quintero: Lappi offer for Sevilla FC still valid
Quintero says the bid he signed with Antonio Lappi was turned down by shareholders, but it has been neither withdrawn nor raised.
Fede Quintero, businessman and journalist from Seville, has confirmed that his offer to buy Sevilla FC together with Antonio Lappi is still on the table. According to ABC, he said so this Tuesday to Cope Sevilla, while receiving the BlĂĄzquez Prize from ElDesmarque at the SĂĄnchez-PizjuĂĄn. They have neither withdrawn the bid nor improved it.
The offer, signed by both and sent to all shareholders months ago, was turned down through the same channel by JosĂ© MarĂa del Nido Benavente, who signaled that it was not the right moment. Quintero says the bid was made at the value they believe in and that the price remains unchanged.
Lappi resurfaced over a month ago, and the process continues after the collapse of talks with Sergio Ramos, with Goldman Sachs now filtering the bids. Quintero doubts the club can get through without a sale: once a shareholder adopts a seller's mindset, he says, it is hard to revive enthusiasm for the project. Sevilla are sixth in LaLiga with 18 points.
