According to this morning’s La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), despite his busy schedule in the United States and Europe, Cardinale is expected at San Siro on Sunday evening to support the team in the decisive match for Milan’s Champions League qualification.
As he did a few days ago in Genoa, the RedBird boss wants to be alongside Massimiliano Allegri and the players in the final match of the season. He was even in the dressing room before and after the last match, too.
Driven by ‘passion’
What’s driving Cardinale back to Italy is ‘his passion for his team’. Those who saw him at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris a few days ago assure that he was very involved in the match and was ‘impressed by the team’s desire to secure the three points’.
In recent days, there has been renewed talk of Cardinale selling a minority stake in Milan, but sources close to the Rossoneri owner have categorically denied the possibility.
The paper states that there will be no Milan-related partnership with the Ellison family, one of the most powerful in the United States when it comes to the world of media.
Cardinale and the Ellisons are already in business and were key players in Paramount’s major acquisition of Warner Bros., but Milan remain solely owned by RedBird, who want to bring a second star (20th Scudetto).
