"The journalist spoke of a verbal pact being in place with the ownership, and that only the sale of Monza was required to get things moving. That sale - from Fininvest (the Berlusconi family) to the American fund Beckett Layne Ventures - was made official three weeks ago. Galliani's tenure as CEO of his hometown team came to an end, in theory freeing him to try other adventures."
"Calciomercato.com confirm that Monza's new owners offered him the role of club president, one that he politely declined. It is 'probably because he was convinced that the handshake with Gerry Cardinale would soon translate into contracts to be signed'. From that day until now, little or nothing has happened. There's been no firm news from the Casa Milan offices regarding Galliani's return, but neither has there been any denial, a clear sign that negotiations are still fluid."
A belief circulated that Galliani's comeback to AC Milan was imminent because a verbal pact with the ownership existed and the sale of Monza was required. Fininvest sold Monza to Beckett Layne Ventures three weeks ago, ending Galliani's tenure as CEO and freeing him for other roles. Monza's new owners offered him the presidency, which he declined, possibly because he expected handshake agreements with Milan's new owners to become formal contracts. Since then there has been little concrete movement and no firm confirmation or denial from Casa Milan, suggesting negotiations remain fluid. Massimiliano Allegri and Zlatan Ibrahimovic would welcome Galliani, but Milan's CEO Giorgio Furlani and president Paolo Scaroni already hold leadership roles, so a substantive super-advisor position needs definition.
