Liverpool and FSG partners RedBird ready to close on AC Milan takeover deal

RedBird Capital Partners are closing in on finalising a deal to purchase Italian giants AC Milan.

The New York-based private equity firm that owns 11 per cent of Liverpool owners Fenway Sports Group have been in the running to takeover the Serie A champions since early May after the exclusivity period between current owners Elliott Management and Bahraini investment fund Investcorp ended without a deal being struck.

RedBird, founded by managing partner Gerry Cardinale in 2014, arrived into the process with a favourably structured deal that required less debt than the deal involving Investcorp, with Elliott Management chief Paul Singer a well known figure to Cardinale through the proximity in New York of the two head offices and their prominence in financial circles in the US.
