He had already made it clear on a couple of occasions and in the end he took the field: Florentino Perez, as ACs number one, sent an expression of interest to the top management of Atlantia for a significant share of Aspi.
The letter from Acs
In the letter, which Radiocor was able to view, the patron of Real Madrid underlined the profitable partnership signed three years ago on the occasion of the Abertis dossier and precisely on the basis of the excellent relationships built with the Italian infrastructure holding now proposes to buy through the manufacturer Spanish a substantial package of the country’s dealership. The plan would then provide, at a later stage, to proceed with a merger between Aspi and Abertis to create a sample of motorways in Europe. Acs owns 50% minus one share in Abertis, partly directly and partly through the subsidiary Hochtief.

Acs estimates the Italian group between 9 and 10 billion euros. Potentially, therefore, more than what is offered by Cassa Depositi e Prestiti in partnership with the Blackstone and Macquarie funds.
Perez, on the other hand, also underlines in the letter that he is available and in favor of considering the entry of other investors into the game and among these he mentions Cdp.
The letter arrives a few hours from the board of directors that should have examined the proposal of the institution in line with the funds.
