An American consortium are reportedly interested in buying Cagliari and their Italian representative Luca Silvestrone has met with the mayor of the city Massimo Zedda to discuss the construction of a new stadium.
The investors wants to build a new arena and a sporting center in Sant’Elia, the area where the Sardinian club currently reside.
The US group, whose name has not yet been revealed, will not proceed with the purchase of the club unless their project is approved by the local council, Italian news agency Ansa reports.
Cagliari were put up for sale for when Massimo Cellino started his takeover of Leeds United.
In the past two years, Cagliari have played their home matches in three different stadiums; the Stadio Sant’Elia, Stadio Is Arenas in Quartu, and the Stadio Nereo Rocco in Trieste.
The new potential buyers want to make sure that the situation is settled before going ahead with further negotiations.
