GdS: Cardinale and Furlani in close contact – the owner followed the mercato daily

Gerry Cardinale’s involvement in the day-to-day running of AC Milan has actually increased since RedBird Capital Partners took over the club.

One of the interesting points from La Gazzetta dello Sport’s article this morning (seen below), is that Cardinale’s business interest is becoming a passion for him and he is starting to find himself more and more hands-on.

The RedBird founder has been present at all three games so far this season, meaning he was in Bologna and Rome as well as in Milan for the Torino game at San Siro, showing his desire to be closer to the action.

He is expected at San Siro for both the derby and the Newcastle United game in the Champions League as well, which would make it five games out of five.

The paper adds that Cardinale is in constant contact with the new CEO Giorgio Furlani and during the summer he followed the transfer window events on a daily basis.
