The story around the alleged purchase of Ducati on the part of Patritalia“Italian patriotic company”, continues adding chapters. The Italian company has once again publicly defended that its offer of 2.5 billion euros is real and that the proposal to acquire all of Ducati Motor Holding was formally presented on June 25, 2026.
As we are telling you, the clarification comes after certain doubts arose about the existence of an official offer and whether some type of negotiation had really been opened with the current owner of the Borgo Panigale brand. Now the answer of Patritalia is forceful: they assure that the proposal was “sent and received.”
Of course, there is an important difference between an offer having been presented and there being a sales process in progress. own Patritalia does not claim that Audi has agreed to negotiate, nor that Ducati is officially for sale. In fact, the company insists that it falls exclusively to the Germans, as owners of Ducatidecide whether to accept or reject your proposal.
Patritalia assures that Audi received its offer for Ducati
According to the statement released by the company, the proposal presented on June 25 contemplates the acquisition of 100% of Ducati Motor Holding for an amount of 2.5 billion euros. Patritalia maintains that the offer was forwarded to the relevant contacts within Audi and of Volkswagen Group, and states that it is willing to provide documentation and electronic records that would demonstrate that the communication was actually sent and received.
The “Italian nationalist” company explains that it has been forced to make this information public after versions appeared that questioned the existence of a formal offer. Their intention, according to the statement, is that the debate on an eventual acquisition is based on verifiable documents and not on rumors or interpretations. The nuance is especially important because, to date, there is no public confirmation that Audi has begun negotiations to get rid of Ducati.
Therefore, the scenario that can be confirmed is that of an offer that Patritalia claims to have presented, not that of an agreed purchase and sale transaction.
Patritalia’s project for Ducati also goes through racing
The most striking part of the new statement comes when Patritalia begins to show how he imagines a Ducati under his hypothetical control. Images of racing motorcycles with the colors and visual identity of Patritalia created using artificial intelligence.
The choice of MotoGP It is not coincidental either. Ducati It is currently going through one of the most important sporting stages in its recent history and maintains a dominant presence in the premier category. In 2026, in addition, the official structure has Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaiawhile the Spaniard has assured his continuity with Ducati Lenovo for the 2027 and 2028 seasons.
An exclusively Italian racing Ducati
But, there is still more. The proposal of Patritalia goes even further. The company has publicly stated that, if one day it were to control Ducatiits sports program would have a very different philosophy from the current one: “all the riders representing the brand, from Moto3 to MotoGP, would be Italian“This turn”patriotic“would represent a radical change with respect to the usual strategy of Ducati in competition.
Therefore, the promise of an exclusively Italian project must be understood, for now, as a declaration of intentions linked to the hypothetical future that Patritalia imagine for Ducatinot as a change that is going to occur in the championship.
What is clear is that a purchase offer can be presented by an interested company, without the owner having any intention of selling or even opening a negotiation process. In this case, furthermore, the figure is considerable: “2,500 million euros for 100% of Ducati Motor Holding.” An amount that places the operation at the center of attention, although it does not yet allow talk of a sale or a change of ownership.
Meanwhile, Ducati continues with its usual activity and with a fully operational sports program. The brand continues under the structure of Audi and of Volkswagen Group and, at least for the moment, there is no public confirmation of an agreement for its sale.
