Repubblica: Elliott could remain as Milan’s owners – their objective is to keep Leao

There has been a lot of speculation about the potential sale of AC Milan to either Investcorp or RedBird capital, but the idea of Elliott Management remaining cannot be ruled out.

According to reports from La Repubblica (via MilanNews), the future of Milan must include new hypotheses. The first is that Investcorp could abandon the auction with RedBird and thus pull out of the deal, and the second is that Elliott remain the owner with the aim of resisting the onslaught of PSG and some Premier League teams for Rafael Leao.

While it seemed before that it was a foregone conclusion Elliott’s time in charge of the Rossoneri would end this summer, they will only sell the club under conditions they believe to be right for Milan and thus the correct offer must arrive.

If they were to stay it would ensure more continuity and would allow already existing negotiations to continue without disruption.
