Baku - APA-Economics. Roma president Rosella Sensi will stay at the helm of the Giallorossi for the time being, but two other parties will join her as Italpetroli and Unicredit aim to sell the club to an interested buyer, Goal.com America reported.

Newco Roma - as the consortium will be known as - will have a representative from Unicredit, one from Italpetroli and Atillo Zimatore, an independent party that both sides have agreed upon.

A statement released only moments ago reveals the extent of the decision undertaken to save the Giallorossi.

"Italpetroli communicates, at the request of the Consob, that a negotiation deadline has been set with Unicredit for July 20, 2010, for a more defined agreement to sort out the financial debt of the Italpetroli group.

"In regards to AS Roma, the accord states that the club will be led by a consortium called Newco Roma, with the Sensi family and Unicredit involved with their respective holdings.

"Newco Roma will be composed of three representatives: one indicated by the Sensi family, one Unicredit representative and an independent party, professor Attillo Zimatore.

"Newco Roma has the main objective to proceed with the negotiation of the sale. AS Roma will continue to be governed and guided by Rosella Sensi.

"All assets other than the football club such as property and oil depots will be transferred to Unicredit," the statement concluded.

Sensi stated she is pleased the football club could be saved.

"A consensus has been reached that will allow the side to be saved," she said to Corriere Dello Sport. "This side belongs to this city, and we hold it very dearly."
