Salford Red Devils: Dario Berta takes over Super League club

The future of Salford Red Devils has been assured as a consortium led by businessman Dario Berta completed an eve-of-season takeover of the Super League club.

Berta’s group has acquired full 100% ownership of the club, subject to final approval by the Rugby Football League, after lengthy talks with stakeholders including Salford City Council, which owns Salford Community Stadium.

The new owners have cleared the Red Devils’ debt and “will deliver additional significant investment for the future growth of the club”, a Salford statement said.

The takeover ends a period of uncertainty for the Red Devils, including having to request an advance payment from other Super League clubs on their 2025 revenue share and being ordered to sell players by the RFL.
