James Pallotta has purchased further shares in Roma’s parent company, making his AS Roma SVP LLP company 78% owners of the club.
Unicredit had owned a section of the Giallorossi, but agreed to sell their share to the American’s company.
A statement on the AS Roma website revealed that the transaction had been made for €33 million, which had been paid to the Italian bank immediately as the shares were sold.
As a result of the deal, AS Roma SVP LLP have gained total ownership of NEEP Roma Holding SpA, the company that owns just over a third of the club’s shares, with the remaining 22% being held by supporters.
Pallotta has been a share-holder in Roma since August 2012, and has overseen a surge in the clubs fortunes that resulted in a second place finish in Serie A last season.
The Bostonian also owns a minority stake in his hometown’s NBA side, the Boston Celtics.
