all this talk of selling.
Wouldn't be Milan if we sold to one of these guys.
more than likely we'll sell to a new Li IF we sell at all.
I say this to protect myself. can't get disappointed if it falls through if you're expecting the worst. haha
Investcorp would have to loan 400M, why ?
Maybe Elliott is just waiting to make an announcement after the season as to not cause a distraction.
Elliott could remain and Investcorp are likely to withdraw their bid-Repubblica
I am proud of our team for remaining composed and focused despite all the drama surrounding the potential club sale.
Investcorp Co-CEO Rishi Kapoor has said that the company will leave aside a deal for AC Milan for the time being.
Investcorp emerged in recent weeks as the most likely company to buy Milan from Elliott but reservations over how the deal would be financially structured has slowed proceedings down considerably.
The emergence of RedBird Capital Group as a buyer that could take control of the club without saddling it with any debt also lowered the appeal of Investcorp for Elliott.
I think that headline is misleading. From what I read, he didn't say they will "leave the DEAL aside for now".....instead he said "at this stage it is not possible to comment and let's leave the Milan talk (converstion) on the side for the time being". At least from the couple of articles I saw. There may have been others that say differently, but I just haven't seen them. It's also important if this interview was in English or another language. Sometimes the translations and especially the context of which things were said are really hard to pin down.
In any case, one way or another, to me this only confirms negotiations and the fact that there are NDAs in and around them so therefore he didn't want to comment any further.
