Ordine reveals what ‘reputable sources’ have said regarding Milan sale rumours

Franco Ordine does not believe that there is any substance behind the rumours Gerry Cardinale could sell AC Milan to the Steinbrenner family.

Pellegatti spoke in a YouTube video published on Wednesday and he revealed the possibility that RedBird Capital could offload Milan to a group that they know very well from previous dealings: Yankees Global Enterprises.

We received denials from sources close to the ownership group, but it is worth mentioning that the synergy between Milan and the New York Yankees is common knowledge. From merchandise ranges to Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s first pitch, there have certainly been attempts to bring the iconic clubs closer.

Ordine published his weekly column for MilanNews in which he spoke about the need to get behind Massimiliano Allegri’s team, but the final part was dedicated to what his colleague Pellegatti said.

“Carlo Pellegatti has launched a rumour from the US that Cardinale is in discussions with the Steinbrenner family, owners of the New York Yankees, regarding a possible sale of AC Milan.

“Reputable sources have firmly denied this. I’ll make a promise on this matter based on past experience (remember Arnualt being tipped as a sure-fire owner by some national newspaper?): I’ll only discuss it once I’ve read the official announcement from Gerry Cardinale.”
