"Gerry Cardinale has visited Milanello twice in quick succession (at least by his usual timescale), and more frequent trips could follow. La Gazzetta dello Sport's report begins by outlining the 'three corporate cornerstones' around which RedBird Capital want to run Milan: continuity, stability, centrality. Cardinale's two visits to Milanello in just a few weeks are a step in this direction, speeches and handshakes aside."
"This is precisely because the message Cardinale and the ownership intend to convey is clear: they are here, we are here, we will continue to be here. The first visit of 2026 was on January 21st, followed by another on February 15th, so only 25 days passed between the two. This is remarkable because, prior to this double visit, Cardinale's last public and official appearance as the owner dated back to the legendary night of Real Madrid 1-3 Milan in November 2024."
Gerry Cardinale visited Milanello twice within 25 days in early 2026 to establish a more consistent ownership presence at AC Milan. The visits were carefully planned meetings with the entire management team present. RedBird Capital frames its approach around continuity, stability, and centrality. The exit of Elliott Management and debt refinancing with Comvest aim to signal continued control by RedBird. The ownership emphasizes financial stability and self-sustainability without recurring cash injections from the majority shareholder. The objective is to normalize Cardinale's presence and increase his visits to make the club livelier and more engaged.
