The world of football could witness a sensational twist. Salernitana, in a difficult moment, both at a corporate and football level, could see the light.
The news has been in the air for a few hours and on social media fans are already dreaming that the deal could come true. In fact, a character like the one linked to Salernitana would have a significant impact, not only for the finances of the Salernitana, but for the entire cadet championship. To date, however, it is only a rumor.
A billionaire interested in Salernitana?
Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio Jr., heir to one of the largest fortunes in Italy and owner of Luxottica, is reportedly ready to make his entry into the Serie B championship. According to the latest rumors, the agreement with the current president of Salernitana, Danilo Iervolino, is already on the home straight and Luxottica is said to be acquiring 50% of the shares of the Granata club. Leonardo Del Vecchio Jr., with a net worth estimated at Forbes as of April 2022 at 27,3 billion dollars, he is the second richest man in Italy and occupies 52nd place in the world ranking of billionaires.
The entry of an entrepreneur of such importance could revolutionize the economic dynamics of Serie B, increasing the visibility and value of a tournament that has historically received less media attention than Serie A. The news was reported by Salernitananews and it is rumored that this would not be just a simple football investment. The agreement between Del Vecchio and Iervolino could represent the beginning of a broader plan that aims to transform the city of Salerno into an economic and cultural attraction.
