MN: Why talks with Arab groups over investment are ‘ordinary activity’

By Euan Burns -

Rumours have been swirling about AC Milan and the prospect of investment in the club from Arab groups, but this is said to be completely normal activity for the ownership to be carrying out. 

As reported by Milan News, holding meetings with investors and potential investors in the Middle East is something that RedBird Capital Group owner Gerry Cardinale does all of the time, not just in relation to Milan.

Milan are not the only sports team that RedBird own/have some control over, so any meetings with Arab investors could feasibly have nothing to do with the Rossoneri.

It is also pointed out that investment from the Arab world in European football does not always result in immediate success, meaning there is an element of ‘be careful what you wish for’.

RedBird have expressed serious interest in moving Milan into a new stadium which would raise the value of the club exponentially, given it would be owned by the Rossoneri and have greater commercial power.

If they were to fully sell the club, it would almost certainly happen after that new stadium has been created.

  1. “It is also pointed out that investment from the Arab world in European football does not always result in immediate success, meaning there is an element of ‘be careful what you wish for’.”

    These guys buy football clubs for trophies and glory. I don’t see how it could be worse than an ownership whose major ambition is to develop a brand and look for business ventures, while sacking the management that brought top players and results on the field leading to the club’s resurgence.

    1. We didn’t exactly wished for Cardinale either we still had to “be careful” 😂😂🤣🤣🤣
      We literally have an “owner” looking for money to finish buying the club smh 🤦‍♂️

  2. Cardinale has lost the respect from most Milan fans. For the case of Furlani and Moncada, as long as they get the job done and Milan are getting good results, they will be left alone. None of these guys will get any sympathy or room to breathe when they struggle. What they did in the summer of 2023 has degraded them to the bottom. Like I said, get the job done or gtfo. There is no love here for any of those people.
