Andrea Costa at work

There are still days of waiting at Andrea Costa's house regarding the future of the red and white club. The Chiarioni accountants' firm in Bologna is still working on the restructuring of the Imola club's previous debt, a process that will take a few more days before it can be completed and negotiations can begin for the acquisition of the club's shares from the current owners (the two partners Alessandro Domenicali and Andrea Ramenghi, supervised by Gian Piero Domenicali), who are more intent than ever on passing the buck this year. Once the amount of debt that Andrea Costa Imola 2022 is carrying has been ascertained in detail, then the green light will be given to sit down at the table with what for the moment (no other viable options appear to be on the horizon) appears to be the only potential buyer, namely the group of entrepreneurs who have already supported the club during the year and whose contact person is the current red and white general manager Sofia Conti.

Group that, as was declared a couple of weeks ago, would be ready to take a first step by covering the previous expenses related to this sports season (read in particular the back payments of the team). To be understood then, also based on the indications that the accountants will give regarding the previous debt, what will be the step of the outgoing ownership so that the two parties can meet and unblock a transfer of ownership that has been talked about for a couple of years now and that this time does not seem to be able to be postponed.

All or nothing, to put it simply, is the feeling you get, and it is unlikely that you will find yourself at the start of the 2025/2026 season with an intermediate situation (between ownership and management staff) like the one experienced during this last year. Three weeks have passed since the final siren of the last seasonal outing of coach Federico Vecchi's men, who after the salvation centered on the field have dissolved the ranks regarding the parquet and inevitably left room for corporate discussions. A few more days before we know anything more.
