Gerry Cardinale’s return and talks with Allegri, CEO and club leaders signal renewed stability at AC Milan. With a potential refinance via Manulife Comvest easing debt, punters might see Milan’s short-term odds shorten—consider backing Milan in upcoming Serie A matches or small-stakes title futures if prices move in their favor.
Cardinale returns to Milan: meetings with Allegri and club leaders
Gerry Cardinale is back in Italy and met the squad, coach Massimiliano Allegri, CEO Giorgio Furlani, President Paolo Scaroni and club advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic in a show of hands-on ownership. His presence at Milan is being read internally as a sign of continuity after sporadic stadium and Champions League visits last season, including attending the September 2024 win over Venezia and a Champions League trip to Spain in November.
Refinancing plans with Manulife Comvest to ease Elliott burden
Cardinale is pushing to refinance the club’s debt with Elliott by March. Talks with Toronto-based Manulife Comvest are reportedly advanced and, if concluded, would allow RedBird to extend payment terms, lower interest costs and keep strategic control of the club. That breathing room would support Milan’s medium- and long-term projects, notably the stadium plan that has gained recent momentum.
On-field impact and managerial stability
The owner’s visible engagement reinforces the message of stability around Allegri and the playing group. A calm, long-term plan from the top often translates into clearer transfer targets and less short-term noise, both of which can lift squad morale. For Allegri, continuity in the boardroom reduces external pressure and can help maintain focus on tactical and squad development.
Betting outlook for punters
Stability at ownership level and a successful refinancing could nudge market perceptions, making Milan a steadier proposition for bettors.
Expect bookmakers to potentially shorten odds for upcoming Serie A matches and for Milan’s domestic title chances if confidence grows.
Punters might consider backing Milan in near-term fixtures or placing modest stakes on title futures only if value appears; always account for form, injuries and transfer activity before wagering.
