One part of the plan would possibly be to sell a small share of the club to Riccardo Silva, a Miami-based Italian businessman with ties to Paolo Maldini and is also the owner of Miami FC. He’s a Milan season ticket holder and a fan, which will help the new owners understand the culture of the club.
Mind you, Elliott isn’t doing this out of the goodness of their hearts, as they know a stable Milan in the Champions League and in the running for the Scudetto every year is worth much more than a Milan who has trouble making the Europa League.
Success might be coming with these owners, as it will increase their investment. Hopefully they hire the right people to deliver the success.
