CorSera: Incoming Milan owner Cardinale sent a message to the squad

AC Milan’s incoming owner Gerry Cardinale sent a message to the squad ahead of their first game of the season today, according to a report.

Milan will begin their title defence with a game against Udinese at San Siro this evening, looking to repeat the success of last season when the team upset the odds to earn a first Scudetto in 11 years.

According to reports from Corriere della Sera (via MilanNews), Gerry Cardinale – the future owner of AC Milan – sent a message of encouragement back on Thursday to the Rossoneri team in view of the start of the new season.

The full closing of the takeover between Elliott Management and Cardinale’s fund RedBird Capital will take place between the end of August and the beginning of September, and then we can probably expect to hear and see more from Cardinale after already declaring back in June that he ‘hates losing’.
