In addition to the consortia in the US, China, India and Russia mentioned in the Financial Times, there are also buyers from the Middle East. Previously, Roma News Network leaked that Saudi royal family member Alwaleed and the Abu Dhabi consortium were interested in acquiring AS Roma. Italian domestic buyers such as Angelucci, Angellini, and Malago will also participate in the bidding. Of course, Egyptian telecom tycoon Sawiris is an important buyer that cannot be overlooked. Previously, AffarItaliani confirmed that China Investment Corporation was also interested in making a bid. According to previous reports by the Financial Times, 12 buyers have expressed interest in acquisition to the Rothschild family. Subsequently, AffarItaliani determined that up to 23 buyers were interested in acquiring AS Roma. Based on the latest information, the number 12 appears more accurate. The Rothschild family sent memorandums to these interested parties. This financial institution's goal is to initiate the sales process. La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed that memorandums had been sent to as many as 12 potential buyers.

Despite poor performances in the league and Champions League, progress has been made in the club's sale. On the 20th, La Gazzetta dello Sport disclosed that the Rothschild family has already sent memorandums to 12 buyers, with the deadline for bids set for November 3rd. In the following few weeks, the Rothschild family plans to accelerate the sale of AS Roma. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Rothschild family requires all potential buyers to submit formal offers before November 3rd. Regarding the completion time of the club's transfer, UniCredit Bank optimistically believes that the sale of Roma will not drag into next year. La Gazzetta dello Sport believes that more information about the sale of AS Roma will be known in early November, especially as the identities of the potential buyers will be revealed at that time.
