If talks are successful, Investcorp will make huge investments to make the squad even more competitive.
Despite the upcoming Coppa Italian semi-final match against Inter, the sale of the club has take center stage in recent days. Former AC Milan coach Fabio Capello is the latest to express his opinions on Investcorp and possible takeover.
