AC Milan are hoping to become one of the elite clubs in Europe once again and they have a spending campaign in mind to match that.
According to our colleagues at SempreMilan.it, Investcorp know that big-name signings are needed to bolster a Milan squad that – by natural order of progression – will have to fight to win the Champions League in the coming years.
We are proceeding swiftly towards the definition of the transfer of ownership, one which could be postponed by a few days due to normal delays in the checks between the two parties, especially given that there is a €1.1bn operation at stake.
Investcorp’s medium-long term business plan has emerged and the Middle Eastern fund intend to keep Milan for a long time (at least 10 years) with the aim of making it one of the top 10 clubs in Europe by reducing the gap to English and Spanish clubs.
It will be necessary to invest in the market and raise the level of the squad (and the subsequently the brand) in order to make Milan a club with great economic power.
It is with that context that the name of Darwin Nunez has emerged. The Benfica star is having an excellent season with 33 goals in all competitions, leading to a valuation of €70m which is a monstrous figure and considered ‘unattainable’ under Elliott Management but which could soon be given serious thought to.
Nunez is now represented by agent Jorge Mendes who has an eye on the situation unfolding at Milan with interest, especially given he has already had business relations with Investcorp in the past.
