Failure to qualify for European competitions next season will have a huge impact on AC Milan’s finances, given the loss of revenues.
Milan’s defeat in the Coppa Italia final not only saw a trophy vanish and a drought continue, it meant that direct qualification for the Europa League vanished too. A top five finish in the league is virtually impossible, so now a very important summer rebuild awaits, but with what budget?

A gaping hole in the accounts
Tuttosport (via MilanPress) this morning estimate that Milan will lose around €100m, as things stand. More specifically, that is how much Milan will miss out on without qualifying for European competition next season, the result of a sum of the UEFA revenues and box office receipts for home games.
It will be a void that will weigh on the club’s accounts next season, the newspaper writes. The Rossoneri also said goodbye to €2.6m with the defeat in the Coppa Italia final, receiving only €2m because they were runners up.
In the last two transfer windows – summer 2024 and the recent winter window – around €120m was invested and less than half of that was collected from sales. For this reason, the club will have to recover this amount, probably through the sale of some players.
So return to losses? So much for profit and financial health over footballing success. Meanwhile Inter with no profits but have won titles, and set to potentially win Champions and Scudetto again. Absolute joke of an ownership
Eat that cardinale
He will sell assets (players) for Capital gain
Failed to reach the UCL because being too cheap on hiring a capable head coach. And whose fault is that? Will those in charge be punished for it? Nope. They’ll just sell the best “assets” we’ve got and carry on as is.
Missing 100M€ due to saving a million or two on the coach. Worth it? Good business? Job well done. Pat yourselves on the back for us, would you?
If the team is downgraded further and with a prospect of a potential new disastrous season will the local rossoneri still be buying season cards and merchandise. I hope not.
Let the ownership be hurt where it matters to them and that is in the wallet. Only way to remotely put pressure on Cardinale to sell the club that or lynch the b@stard when he again shows up once in a blue moon.
perfect, every year damage but stingy to buy worthy player just maximal 25 Mio player
You get what you pay for. If this is what’s necessary to chase Gerry and RedBird out, then so be it. We’ve been there before.
It is just Red Turds goals. First goal is finish 4th in Serie A, and focus on champions league (money).
Which is low limit for players and coach (meaning they can play unfocused in serie a).
So it’s enough just to get 3 more defeats than predicted before season to finish 9th.
Definitely some flop players must go but also for expecting is they will sell big star (or couple of them ) to finish next season in below 20-30 mil of loss or even with positive balance.
It just shows how delusional most people are today. Sustainable club is 8th. The “falling apart” and “soon bankrupt” Inter is playing CL finals. There were articles here explaining how Inter is managed badly and will fall apart. 🤣🤣🤣 Yes, Gerry Cardinale will change Italian football. He doesn’t know the rules of football. 100%
Sell off all your dead weight – there’s most of your 100mil First Aid Kit.
We still win the financial scudetto. Do not look at the other clubs. Do not look at figures and numbers. We will always win the money game.
Hahahahahhaaaaa! Been saying this for years.
My prediction unfortunately came true. Focus on winning first and the revenue will follow.
Not in making Milan something other than a football club.
God the owner is delusional.
Thank you Gerry.
Hope Redbird gets a great offer from Soudis and sells. Enough is enough. Any other serious club, would have made some moves already. SD should have been appointed already and a strategy drawn out. Yet these fools still up in the air. Sad to see our club in such shape.
Good times. From UCL semi finals and a bright bright future to this trash….what a disgrace.
Can’t wait till we start dumping players like Riendjers Mike Theo and Leao…..
TY Redbird – what amazing owners we have!!!!!🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Sick and tired and fed up reading about milan HAVING to sell theo, leao, maignan and reijndeers to make up for losses ….. always on parade to sell our BEST players …. it is shameful and disgusting ….
WHY NOT SELL FURLANI, MONCADA AND IBRA??? BUT THEN WHO WANTS WORTHLESS RUBBISH AROUND HIM IN HIS HOUSE?
