Reggina sale stalls; Lotito group in focus after Rizzetta deal falters

Negotiations to sell the Italian football club Reggina have stalled after a two‑month process that appeared close to completion with the Italo‑American businessman Matt Rizzetta. On June 8 Rizzetta posted a disappointed message on social media, indicating that no agreement had been reached. Reports suggest a new consortium led by Claudio Lotito, president of Lazio, has entered the talks, with former club official Manolo Bucci mentioned as a potential financier. No official announcement of a new ownership structure has been made, and the club remains without a confirmed future board.

The uncertainty continues to affect fans and club planning for the upcoming season, while speculation grows about whether the Lotito‑led group will ultimately acquire Reggina or if the sale will be postponed further.
