Lazio President Denies Qatari Takeover Rumors and Plans Legal Action
Lazio president Claudio Lotito has firmly dismissed speculation suggesting the club is in negotiations with investors from Qatar. Amid growing unrest among supporters, particularly following financial setbacks and a transfer ban earlier in the summer, rumors of a potential sale gained traction online. However, the club has publicly rejected these claims, emphasizing that no discussions or offers have taken place with any foreign entities.
Fan dissatisfaction with Lotito has been building over recent seasons, fueled by lackluster performances compared to prior campaigns. Ultra groups have repeatedly called for his departure and the sale of his stake, intensifying their protests in recent months. Despite this pressure, Lotito has shown no intention of stepping aside, reinforcing his commitment to maintaining control of the club.
In a formal statement, Lazio declared that the reports of talks with Qatari investors were entirely fabricated and designed to harm the club’s reputation and stock market performance. The announcement stressed that neither formal nor informal proposals had ever been received, reaffirming the stability of current ownership. The club condemned the spread of false information and urged caution against amplifying such narratives.
Lotito and his management team indicated they are prepared to pursue legal action against those responsible for circulating the unfounded claims. Their response signals a firm stance on defending the club’s integrity amid mounting external speculation. While tensions with sections of the fanbase persist, the ownership remains resolute in protecting its position and image.
