Russian billionaire says will not buy AS Roma football club

The billionaire owner of Russian soccer club Spartak Moscow on Wednesday denied reports he was interested in buying Italian club AS Roma.
Russian media had reported that Leonid Fedun, vice-president of Russian oil company LUKOIL, was interested in purchasing the Serie A club after it was put up for sale in September.
But asked by journalists on Wednesday if he was going to buy Roma, Fedun said: "No. I have Spartak."
He is Russia's 20th richest man with an estimated fortune of $5.5 bln according to the Russian edition of Forbes magazine.
Roma, who finished second in the standings last season and were Italian Cup runners-up despite their financial constraints, were put up for sale by creditors in September.
