Dan Friedkin speaks: “Between the stadium news and first place, it’s a great moment for us.”

Dan Friedkin speaks: “Between the stadium news and first place, it’s a great moment for us.” Yesterday, the general assembly of European clubs was held in Copenhagen, attended by Dan Friedkin. It’s an extraordinary moment for the Texan owners, especially after the green light was given for the stadium in Pietralata, where the groundbreaking is expected between March and April. The Giallorossi could play their first season in their new home in 2029-30. On the sidelines of yesterday’s meeting, Dan Friedkin puffed out his chest when he heard the word Roma mentioned. The tycoon appeared in the conference room around 9:00 a.m., wearing a suit and blue tie. He wore headphones while sending voice messages and warily observing familiar and less familiar faces. The first to embrace Dan Friedkin was the owner of Legia Warsaw, with whom he discussed the current state of Gasperini’s team and the tense relationship between UEFA and FIFA. Shortly afterward, the pair were joined by Martina Pavlova of Sparta Prague. All three are members of the executive committee of the only association Dan Friedkin identifies with. Dan Friedkin returned to talking about his Roma side yesterday, shaking hands and laughing about the Giallorossi’s current situation. As Corriere dello Sport reports, he let slip a certain satisfaction: “Between the stadium and first place, it’s truly a great moment for us.” The Manchester City CEO joked with the owner of the Roman club: “President, do you want to win this year?” Finally, Al-Khelaifi arranged to meet Dan Friedkin for the match between PSG and Roma on November 25th: “See you in the Champions League, Dan.”
