Even in 2025, Serie A is and will be increasingly international: at the moment, half of the clubs in the top league are foreign-owned.
The latest change concerns the Genoapassed by the American fund 777 Partners to the Romanian entrepreneur And Sucu. This step reorients the foreign presence in Italian football, while keeping the number of clubs with non-Italian owners unchanged.
North American dominance is evidentparticularly American. With the end of the 777 Partners era, there are seven Italian companies now managed by American groups.
Atalanta is under the leadership of Stephen Pagliucaco-owner of Boston Celticsenter theInter is controlled by the fund Oaktreewho took over the club after the enforcement of the pledge last May due to the debts accumulated by the former president Steven Zhang.
Milan is also under American control, with the fund RedBird Of Gerry Cardinale. Dal 2019, Rocco Commisso is the owner of the Fiorentinawhile the Roma belongs to Friedkin Groupwhich deals with film production and which recently became the owner ofEverton in Premier League.
This year two new clubs have been added to this list: the newly promoted clubs Parma e Veneziarespectively owned by Kyle Krause e Duncan Niederauertwo American entrepreneurs. The first is the owner of the Krause Groupa holding company active in various sectors, including retail, logistics and wine, the second is a former president of New York Stock Exchange.
The list of clubs with foreign control ends with Bologna and Como: the first is owned by the Canadian Joey Saputowhile the second was taken over by the family HartonoIndonesian billionaires active in the tobacco business with the company Djarumthe world's third largest producer of clove cigarettes.
Serie A, the surviving Italian properties
Italian properties are now few. Among the few local owners there are Claudio Lotito (Lazio), Aurelio De Laurentiis (Napoli) e Urban Cairo (Torino), although there are rumors of a possible sale of the club for the latter.
A separate discussion is that of Juventuscontrolled for over 63% by the holding company Exorof which the family Lambs holds 53%. The Lecce is owned by a group of partners led by Saverio Sticchi Damianiwhile the Cagliari is in the hands of Tommaso Giulini since 2014, through the Fluorsid Group. Finally, theUdinese is under the control of Giampaolo Pozzothrough the holding company गेसापर.
Despite the dominant presence of foreign investors, no major changes are expected in the short term. Yet some clubs currently in the hands of Italian owners could be acquired by foreigners: this is the case ofEmpoli Of Fabrizio Corsiof the Monza owned by Fininvest and of theHellas Verona Of Maurizio Setti.
