Calcio Serie C club Perugia is moving closer to completing its corporate takeover as director-general Hernan Garcia Borras dismisses outside speculation regarding the transition of shares from Javier Faroni to Arena Curi. Speaking on the pending ownership change, Borras confirmed that the club is experiencing no internal panic and expects the deal to cross the finish line within the coming weeks.
Perugia Close in on Corporate Transition
The protracted share transfer surrounding Calcio Serie C side Perugia has sparked significant public speculation across Italian football circles, but club officials maintain that the administrative process remains firmly on track. Addressing doubts surrounding the timeline of the acquisition, Hernan Garcia Borras stated that the finalization is purely a matter of scheduling. The transition will shift ownership decisively from Javier Faroni to the Arena Curi group.
“Most likely next week, at the latest the following one. We are not worried about this,” Borras said regarding the anticipated closing date for the transaction.
Auditing Sign-Off Clears the Path
Administrative hurdles that previously delayed the final paperwork have now been cleared. Borras identified the missing piece as the official opinion from the board of statutory auditors concerning the 2026 financial statements. Although the club had until Oct. 15 to file the documentation, cooperative efforts across the organization allowed officials to produce the required review ahead of schedule.
“It was the opinion of the board of statutory auditors on the 2026 budget. We had until October 15 to produce it, but we succeeded earlier, with everyone’s goodwill,” Borras explained. He added that the audit revealed zero financial irregularities, describing the financial statement as flawless. “It was this final step that will allow us to move forward. But we have been working together for some time now, both with Alessandro, who handles the technical side, and his collaborators.”
Financial Stability Amid Field Struggles
The reassurance from club leadership arrives at a crucial juncture for the Biancorossi. The senior squad faces a challenging run of form on the pitch in Serie C, placing additional pressure on the administration to project stability off it. Borras emphasized that immediate operational funds remain secure regardless of minor administrative delays.
The club confirmed that the necessary liquidity required to cover upcoming financial deadlines on Sept. 30 and Oct. 15 is fully accounted for in the club’s coffers, functioning independently of whether the formal closing takes place immediately or experiences slight scheduling adjustments.
Next Steps for Il Grifo
With the financial audit successfully filed and leadership publicly committed to a swift resolution, attention shifts to the formal signing ceremony. Stakeholders and supporters of the Umbrian club await concrete calendar confirmation for the final execution of the transfer agreements between Faroni and Arena Curi.
