[Saba Sports News] According to recent reports from Italian media, a member of the Kuwaiti royal family, Al-Sabah, visited Milan, Italy, where he met with the son of the current Serie A Napoli chairman, De Laurentiis. The purpose of their meeting was speculated to be discussions regarding the acquisition of Bari Club, a team in Serie B. It is believed that the Kuwaiti royal family is interested in acquiring the club to enhance the image and popularity of the Kuwaiti royal family in the sports field. While Bari Club currently faces financial difficulties, it possesses a rich historical heritage and potential for development. By injecting funds and resources, the Kuwaiti royal family aims to transform Bari into a more competitive team that can establish itself in Italian and European football. Bari narrowly avoided relegation last season, finishing 17th in Serie B after participating in the relegation play-offs.
