Reports: Investcorp a vehicle for something bigger – Saudi and Qatari funds eager to invest in Milan

Yet more suggestions have emerged that Investcorp will simply be the face behind a much bigger project for AC Milan involving multiple interested parties with a lot of wealth.

According to Carlo Festa of Il Sole 24 Ore (via MilanEye), an ad hoc fund will be created to buy Milan which will essentially serve as a vehicle for various financial groups and families to invest their money. This means that rather than being the sole financiers, Investcorp will therefore be the manager of other people’s money.

Meanwhile, Milano Finanza confirm that among the main shareholders in Investcorp are some Saudi and Qatari ‘entrepreneurial dynasties’ who are very much convinced by the idea of investing their money in Milan.

They believe that a club like the Rossoneri could represent a gateway to the Italian and European market for Middle Eastern capital, which is one of their missions in order to expand global influence.
