睿康集團收購阿斯頓維拉足球俱樂部

A Chinese businessman has agreed to buy Aston Villa, marking the second time in just over six months that Chinese investors have put money into English football.

一名中國商人已同意收購阿斯頓維拉(Aston Villa)足球俱樂部，這是僅僅6個月多一點時間內，中國投資者第二次投資英國足球俱樂部。

The Birmingham-based team, which has just been relegated from the Premier League, said on Wednesday that Recon Group, a privately owned company controlled by Tony Jiantong Xia, had agreed to acquire 100 per cent of the club.

週三，這家位於伯明翰、剛剛從英超(Premier League)降級的足球俱樂部表示，夏建統(Tony Jiantong Xia)所有的中國民營企業聯合睿康集團(Recon Group)已同意收購該俱樂部100%的股權。

The deal, for an undisclosed amount, requires the approval of the Premier League and the Football League. It would mark the end of a two-year sale process by Randy Lerner, the US billionaire who also owns the National Football League’s Cleveland Browns.

該交易的金額尚未公佈，交易尚需要得到英超和英冠聯賽(Football League)的批准。這將標誌着美國億萬富翁蘭迪•勒納(Randy Lerner)爲期兩年的出售過程畫上句號。勒納還是美國國家橄欖球聯盟(National Football League)克利夫蘭布朗隊(Cleveland Browns)的老闆。
