CM: Galliani still expected to return to Milan despite contrary speculation – the situation

After rumours that Adriano Galliani’s return to AC Milan is in jeopardy, a report to the contrary has now arrived.

It was claimed by two sources in the past 24 hours that Galliani’s possible move back to Milan was on hold. One claimed it was due to doubts within the ownership about welcoming ‘Il Condor’ back, while another suggested that there were issues with the sale of Monza.

Reassurances arrive

According to Calciomercato.com, Fininvest and Beckett Layne Ventures have denied talk about alleged problems with the transfer of ownership of Monza. The American have has committed to purchasing the Brianza-based club for €45m, including €15m in debt.

BLV has so far paid €3m to the Berlusconi family holding company, but still has a few days to pay the remaining €27m. The transaction involves an initial transfer of 80% of the shares by the end of this summer, while the remaining 20% ​​will be sold by June 2026.

Beckett Layne Ventures was founded and run by Brandon Berger and Lauren Crampsi , who worked on the restructuring of Chelsea’s commercial department. BLV is a sports investment fund, but also has interests and expertise in the entertainment industry, with over $10bn invested.

Meanwhile, Monza have already begun their own restructuring. They added advisor Mauro Baldissoni (formerly of Roma) and sporting director Nicolas Burdisso (formerly of Fiorentina) to their management team.

CEO Adriano Galliani has remained in place pending the closing of the deal, after which he will be given the green light to return to Milan as a consultant.
