“RedBird’s priority is to work with the club’s title-winning sporting and club management team to continue Milan’s journey back to the summit of world football,” added the statement. Their acquisition of Milan follows their purchase of a majority stake in French club Toulouse in 2020.“We are honoured to be a part of AC Milan’s illustrious history and are excited to play a role in the club’s next chapter as it returns to its rightful place at the very top of Italian, European and world football,” said Gerry Cardinale, RedBird’s founder and managing partner.
Italian media reported that the deal between Elliott and Investcorp collapsed as seven-time European champions Milan’s owners pushed for a higher purchase price off the back of winning the Scudetto. Milan announced losses for last season of 96 million euros, down from a deficit of 195 million euros in 2020.“When Elliott acquired AC Milan in 2018, we inherited a club with a tremendous history, but with serious financial problems and a mediocre sporting performance,” Elliott’s managing partner, Gordon Singer, said in a statement on the club’s website.
