The owners of troubled Rugby League Club Salford Red Devils have insisted that the club is not up for sale
Following the club’s 80-6 los to Hull FC at the weekend in which the team had to rely on extra loan players from across the competition,the club released a statement which said that its financial difficulties were exacerbated by the failure of a pledged external investment of £1.8m to materialise.
We understand the frustration many fans feel. But we want to be clear: Salford Red Devils will not close,” it read.
“We have consistently met wage obligations under difficult conditions and continue to tackle over £3m in inherited debt.
“Your patience and support are deeply appreciated as we work to return SRD to its rightful position in the sport.”
A consortium led by businessman Dario Berta bought the club at the beginning of the season, but financial restrictions frequent have overshadowed their 2025 campaign.
The statement added that
“Despite recent setbacks, the club is in the process of establishing a new team to stabilise operations moving forward, alongside securing bridge funding that restores immediate financial stability and lays the foundation for a sustainable future.”
“This marks a turning point and underscores the consortium’s long-term commitment to the Red Devils.”
