The sale of Versace would be getting closer and closer. According to press rumors, the deal between the Medusa brand and the Prada group would now be in the final phase and, according to Pambianconews, the communication of the acquisition could come immediately after the Versace fashion show scheduled for Friday 28 February.  This is perhaps the most anticipated operation in the fashion world, although analysts immediately expressed some skepticism about the concreteness of the operation and the advantages it would bring to the Milanese group.  In addition to Prada, there would have been several companies interested in the acquisition. In recent months, there have been rumors about Bahrain Investcorp, the private equity firm Permira, and Exor, which would give up. Later the names of Renzo Rosso with Otb and also Marco Bizzarri with his Nessifashion would emerge. However, it would be Prada that has made it to the final stages.
