AC Milan have joined Olimpia in attending the European NBA conference in London today, but Inter did not have any representation.
There have been talks about a European NBA for some time, and with Gerry Cardinale’s interest and knowledge of American sports, it makes sense why Milan are considering the idea. However, their appearance at this meeting today is seen as a step forward.
Milan’s attendance in NBA Europe meeting
As Gazzetta dello Sport writes, today a meeting will take place including several of the clubs interested in joining the league. Now it is not a ‘in or out’ situation, but it is a ‘significant passage’, which could be meaningful in the long run.
Right now, it is unclear what will happen in the city of Milano. All three clubs are interested in the league, but a solution has not been conjured up just yet, perhaps an alliance between two or the clubs, or even one Milanese outfit.
With a €500 million to €1 billion estimated entry fee, it will be a big decision to make. However, the advantage to this fee is that you will become a co-owner of the league. Nothing is final, yet. However, the outcome of the meeting could reveal the next few steps.
Massimo Cavelli is in attendance for the Diavolo, whilst Zlatan Ibrahimovic is also in London.
