Redbird may withdraw, a new club has surfaced, and the Premier League coach may replace Stefano Pioli
According to the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, Redbird Investments is now in a merger and acquisition talks with Arab groups. If the talks go well, RedBird Group will give the Arab group a full stake in AC Milan, leaving it out of its Milan operations. In 2022, Redbird invested 1.2 billion to buy the entire stake in Milan, thus gaining new ownership. But RedBird Capital bought AC Milan for just £200 million. To buy Milan, they borrowed $400 million from the United States and Elliott Bank.
Milan's management are now busy raising money to repay the £60 million loan provided by Elliott for the AC Milan transfer. And the wealthy Saudis, after buying Newcastle, also began to look for the next club to expand their football field. In recent years, Italy's economic recession has greatly impacted the investment of Serie A clubs in the transfer market. With monetary help from the Saudis, Milan can replenish their players, and it won't be long before AC Milan overtake Juventus and Milan in their overall ability to dominate the new round of the league. More worryingly, Milan will be able to use Saudi funds to buy players they are interested in at clubs in Newcastle and with ties to Saudi Arabia and elsewhere.
There are reports that after the successful takeover of Milan by Arab **, the Saudi group will have a good chance of returning AC Milan's Maldini and Samara to Milan as managers of the team. At the same time, AC Milan are about to fire their current manager, Stefano Pioli, and the Milan management, as well as the Saudi side, want Brighton club manager De Zerbi to replace Pioli as the new AC Milan manager. If AC Milan is bought again and the Saudi consortium moves to the first division, then with the support of the Saudis, AC Milan will regain the top spot and regain dominance.
For AC Milan, the success of this deal will determine their future and the title for next season. With the entry of the Arab consortium, Inter Milan and Juventus are likely to sell their **, and with new sponsors, the strength of this club will be further improved, and it is even qualified to compete with Premier League clubs. Italy was known as the "mini-World Cup" in the early 90s, but its strength has plummeted as major superclubs have increased their investment in the league.
