A bombshell report from the Cronache di Spogliatoio editorial team could change the entire ownership landscape at AC Milan: Flavio Briatore, the well-known Italian entrepreneur and current executive advisor to the Alpine Formula 1 team, is said to be actively working on a move to enter the Rossoneri’s ownership structure.
Briatore Eyes Milan: A Deal Still Taking Shape
The operation is still far from finalised, but according to the source, Briatore would come in as an investor with a clear vision for the club’s future. And he wouldn’t be acting alone: two other highly influential figures from Italian football are reportedly set to join him.
The first name is that of Adriano Galliani, the legendary CEO who guided Milan through its most glorious decades and who remains deeply embedded in the hearts of Rossoneri fans worldwide. Galliani had reportedly already been considered by Gerry Cardinale as a potential institutional figurehead, before internal resistance put the brakes on any formal approach. Now, however, the winds appear to be shifting: Galliani and Briatore enjoy a well-established relationship, and — crucially — it was aboard Briatore’s yacht that Galliani and Cardinale famously shook hands, a detail that suggests these conversations have been in motion for some time.
Carnevali as Potential CEO: A Top-Level Sporting Profile
The second name generating significant buzz is Alessandro Carnevali, one of the most respected sporting directors in Italian football, currently working at Sassuolo. Carnevali could take on the role of Chief Executive Officer in a new-look Milan, providing the technical and operational leadership the club so urgently needs. His profile combines experience, a broad network and an intimate understanding of how Italian football works at the highest level.
Carnevali is no stranger to elite-level management: he developed professionally in the same environment that shaped Beppe Marotta — himself a product of the Galliani school of thought — and represents a continuity of vision that is increasingly rare in modern Italian football. His standing within the sport’s political and institutional landscape makes him a candidate with broad support.
A New Era for AC Milan?
Should the deal come together, the resulting structure would be a complementary trio: Briatore as investor and entrepreneurial visionary, Galliani as the institutional and symbolic face of true milanismo, and Carnevali as the technically sound CEO steering day-to-day operations.
On paper, this combination would bring together financial strength, historical tradition and sporting expertise — exactly what Milan needs after months of turbulence, including Tare’s departure and an uncertain boardroom future. For supporters, this scenario would represent a genuine fresh start.
Many questions remain unanswered: the operation is still in its early stages, and how things will develop in relation to RedBird Capital and Cardinale himself is far from clear. But the rumour is already concrete enough to demand serious attention.
