Wasn't sure where else to put this, so have created a thread dedicated to it. Basically, Italian football has women's teams, but until now it's been limited in size (12 teams at this point) and none of the biggest clubs were really involved. However, I think last year Juve set up a team and others are following suit.
Apparently Milan have also announced the formation of a women's team (I can't seem to find an official confirmation though) and are taking steps to get the team together.
Looks like the idea is to simply buy Brescia, who have won Serie A in the last two seasons.

Filippo Galli is overseeing the negotiations, though early signs seem positive with it potentially costing around 1m. That leads to another interesting point. There was a recent appointment in the club for a new head of the youth set up, which Galli previously ran. Apparently the club appreciated his work and were looking to get him in a new role. Looks like that role is in setting up the women's side.
This whole thing is a bit weird, as I would have thought it would have been something that was publicised more. I know women's football in Italy isn't great, but I've literally seen nothing about Milan's team prior to today.
