Giorgio Furlani, Elliott’s point of reference and AC Milan advisorspoke about the minority shareholders and the sports project al Business of Football Summitevent organized by Financial Times: “Ever thought about minority shareholders? The short answer is no, we never thought about it. Many have contacted us because they had an interest in the club, but so far there has never been anything. We have not invested in terms of equity in the coffers. of the club in the last year, we shouldn’t do it even shortly, the boat has stabilized. In football many choices are not chosen from an economic and analytical point of view, this we have tried to make. For example, it would be stupid of us to hold back our assets at any cost, but you have to be objective and have plan B. And we are happy with our new goalkeeper “.
“We have thus developed a plan around two pillars: first of all sporting results, for me there is no successful football project that does not start from sporting successes. Then we needed discipline from an economic and financial point of view, especially as far as about cost reduction. We have chosen a fantastic CEO like Ivan Gazidis and with him we have transformed Milan and the road is to go towards the direction of a media business in the style of Real Madrid and Manchester United. to do well on the pitch as well. Finally we pushed on the stadium project, San Siro is a historic stadium but it is not a stadium of 2022 “.
