Paris Hilton is bidding for S.S. Lazio.

By Adria Cimino

April
21 (Bloomberg) -- Representatives from Hilton Hotels Corporation
(NYSE:HLT) refused to comment on the arising rumors about Paris
Hilton's interest in the acquisition of a control Share of S.S. Lazio
(MIBTEL: SSL), an italian "Serie A" soccer Team .

After several
months of stagnation Lazio's shares were traded in the last weeks at
+10% of the last 12 months average value, and many analysts reported
that "unknown hands are slowly gathering shares".

The purpose
would be to build a significant position from which to establish a
negotiation with the current Lazio owner, Mr Claudio Lotito, an almost
unknown entrepreneur whose main business is in cleaning and Security
services for local public administrations.

Paris Whitney Hilton
is the 27 year old heiress of Conrad Hilton, the founder of the Hilton
Hotels & Co., and her wealth is estimated to be in the range of 1
Billion US$. According to the reports Bloomberg was able to access, her
interest was arised by S.S. Lazio's recent victory over their city
rival AS Roma (MIBTEL: ASR), with a late goal scored by Valon Behrami
during the injury time.

The pictures of the International Swiss
player impressed Ms Hilton, which asked to date immediately the club's
owner in order to clarify his availability to sale his control stake.
No comment has been provided so far on Lazio side.

In the
meanwhile Ms Hilton engaged herself in preparing an innovative
retention and rewarding plan for the most important team's players,
which would be "personally thanked and rewarded" by the new owner in
case of extraordinary sport perfomances. This scheme could be
particularly attractive for young players as Lorenzo De Silvestri,
Goran Pandev, and Valon Berhami himself.
