AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi may look to relinquish shares in the club after suffering a huge financial blow, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
Following a decade-long dispute, known as Lodo Mondadori, Berlusconi's holding company Fininvest, which also controls the Milanese club, has been slapped with an astronomical €560 million fine by Italian courts.
This may also have long-term financial implications for the team, as the company may have to divert its interests to making sure the matter with Cir, the winners of the conflict, is resolved first and foremost.
As the 74-year-old has no intention of selling the club outright, the company is actively seeking a solution that does not lead to the sale of Milan, but ensuring that funding can remain healthy.
The publication reports that a meeting took place on Monday between the owner Silvio Berlusconi, his children Marina, who manages Fininvest, and Barbara, a Milan board member, and the board of Fininvest.
Currently, three possible outcomes are being considered; they could choose to disassociate the club from Fininvest to avoid any further problems, sell 30 per cent of the shares to an Arabic consortium, or list itself on the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.
In particular, the last two options would allow Milan to bolster their vaults with fresh funding, and considerably strengthen the team further. The first option, however, ensures the club remains exclusively in the hands of the family.
All solutions are under consideration by the management of Fininvest and Milan, and soon will have to take a decision to support managing director Adriano Galliani in the transfer market.
News is expected in the coming weeks, but what is certain is that Milan will stay in one way or another, in the legacy of the Berlusconi family.
FORZA SILVIO !!!
