The rules that have been set out by new AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale are heavily focused on sustainability rather than bankrolling the team to back-to-back Serie A titles, a report claims.
As has been reported by Tuttosport (via Milan News), the business model under RedBird Capital Group has not changed much from when Elliott Management were still the owners.
An example is that Cardinale said no to Frederic Massara and Paolo Maldini when they asked for the extra cash needed to meet Nicolo Zaniolo’s demands.
The plan is still to work well within the budget and hope to find cheaper players with high potential who can burst into the team. The issue this season is that none of the summer signings have had a positive impact just yet.
Something that would change the situation would be some smart sales, such as when the club made money on Patrick Cutrone, Suso and Jens Petter Hauge.
