Atalanta co-owner Stephen Pagliuca releases statement amid Chelsea bid

Atalanta co-owner Stephen Pagliuca has declared his commitment to La Dea despite launching a bid for Chelsea.

In February, Pagliuca acquired a 55% stake in Atalanta and has recently joined the club's board of directors along with his son Joseph Case and Bain Capital Private Equity chiefs David Benjamin Gross-Loh and Luca Bassi.

In a short statement, the American billionaire said: “We wish to reaffirm the commitment of our family and partners to Atalanta and our partnership with the Percassi family.

“We are long-term partners and we are excited to continue the success of the club."

Pagliuca was reacting to claims in the English media that he would have to reduce his stake in Atalanta should his Chelsea offer prove successful.
