Cubs-ägarna familjen Ricketts vill köpa AC Milan

Samtidigt som fotbolls-VM i Ryssland är i full gång pågår det affärssamtal kring AC Milan. Familjen Ricketts, som äger basebollklubben Chicago Cubs, sägs förhandla om ett köp av den italienska storklubben, rapporterar nyhetsbyrån AP.

Klubben köptes av ett kinesiskt lett konsortium under 2017. Samma år tog man ett lån från private equity-bolaget Elliott – ett lån klubbens kinesiska ordförande Li Yonghong ska ha haft problem att betala tillbaka.

Milan är kvalificerade till Europa Leauge kommande säsong men riskerar att uteslutas då de kan ha brutit mot Uefas finansiella fair play-regler.

Wikipedia (en)
Associazione Calcio Milan (Italian pronunciation: [assotʃatˈtsjoːne ˈkaltʃo ˈmiːlan]), commonly referred to as A.C. Milan or simply Milan, is a professional football club in Milan, Italy, founded in 1899. The club has spent its entire history, with the exception of the 1980–81 and 1982–83 seasons, in the top flight of Italian football, known as Serie A since 1929–30. AC Milan's 18 FIFA and UEFA trophies is the fourth highest out of any club (joint with Boca Juniors), and the most out of any Italian club. Milan has won a joint record three Intercontinental Cups and one FIFA Club World Cup, seven European Cup/Champions League titles (Italian record), the UEFA Super Cup a joint record five times and the Cup Winners' Cup twice. With 18 league titles, Milan is also the joint-second most successful club in Serie A, along with local rivals Internazionale and behind Juventus (34 league titles). They have also won the Coppa Italia five times, and the Supercoppa Italiana seven. Milan's home games are played at San Siro, also known as the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. The stadium, which is shared with city rivals Internazionale, is the largest in Italian football, with a total capacity of 80,018. Inter are considered their biggest rivals, and matches between the two teams are called Derby della Madonnina, which is one of the most followed derbies in football. The former owner of the club was former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, who owned the club for 31 years. The club is one of the wealthiest in Italian and world football. It was a founding member of the now-defunct G-14 group of Europe's leading football clubs as well as its replacement, the European Club Association.
