Rumors circulated that Gerry Cardinale could sell part of his stake in AC Milan, with the Ellison family suggested as potential buyers. The idea was denied by a report in La Gazzetta dello Sport, but further speculation continued. A new claim attributed to Maurizio Pistocchi and confirmed by MilanNews centers on Pierfrancesco Vago, executive chairman of MSC Crociere and a known Milan fan. Intense discussions between Cardinale and Vago in recent months raise the possibility that Vago could buy a minority stake and join the club’s ownership group. A further step could involve appointing Vago to a key board position. MSC has sponsored Milan since 2023, and its logo appears on players’ sleeves for about €5 million net per year, suggesting the relationship could deepen.
"The rumour launched by Maurizio Pistocchi on his X profile has been confirmed by MilanNews. It concerns the possible involvement of Pierfrancesco Vago, the executive chairman of MSC Crociere and well-known Milan fan. Discussions between Gerry Cardinale and Vago have been intense in recent months. As a result of them, Vago's entry as a shareholder in the Rossoneri through the purchase of a minority stake cannot be ruled out."
"The next step could be the appointment of Vago to an important position within the board of directors. The Swiss shipping company - with a strong Italian ownership - has also been a sponsor of Milan since 2023. The MSC logo appears on the sleeves of the Rossoneri players in exchange for a payment of €5m net per year. In the coming weeks and months, the bond between the two organisations could strengthen even further."
"In recent days, there has been a buzz generated around the idea that Gerry Cardinale could sell part of his stake in Milan. The Ellison family were believed to be the frontrunners, who are powerful in the media world in the USA. These rumours were then denied in a report that was published in La Gazzetta dello Sport, but it always feels as though there is no smoke without fire when it comes to these kinds of things."
