GdS: Gazidis may step down from role as CEO if Investcorp complete Milan takeover

AC Milan have important games on their agenda but speculation about a potential takeover by Investcorp also continues to swirl.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via MilanNews), there are still about two weeks of exclusivity during which the Bahrain-based fund will carry out due diligence, which is the analysis of Milan’s accounts. At the end of this period – and there will be no extension – there will either be the closing of the takeover or Elliott Management will remain in charge.

It is still too early to understand what will change in the event that the club changes hands when it comes to the structure of the management, and in particular will happen to CEO Ivan Gazidis, technical director Paolo Maldini and sporting director Ricky Massara.

Regarding Gazidis, he may decide to take a step back given his strong bond with Elliott. However, it is still early to talk about this because there is still a rather complex $1.1bn negotiation that must be completed.
