TIRANA, July 25 – Albanian businessman Rezart Taci of the Taci Oil International has bought a majority stake in Serie A club Bologna.
The businessman, who runs Albanian oil company Taci Oil International, said he paid 43 million euro to buy 80 percent of the club in a deal that will take effect on Aug. 3.
Bologna’s official Web site also announced the deal, but did not disclose financial terms.
Taci told Top Channel private television station that the acquisition could serve as a “window of opportunity” for talented Albanian players.
Taci Oil International is part of a U.S.-Swiss consortium that last year bought 85 percent of state oil company ARMO with $183 million.
