Rossoneri Sports Investment Luxembourg and Italy’s Fininvest have officially signed the equity transfer agreement in Milan, marking the completion of Rossoneri’s acquisition of 99.93 percent of AC Milan’s shares. This historic deal, valuing the legendary club at €740 million, signals not only the end of Silvio Berlusconi’s era but also the beginning of a new chapter for one of football’s most iconic teams. For fans following developments on Cricket Exchange, the story highlights how football tradition and modern global investment now intersect in dramatic fashion.
On April 13, Fininvest received full payment for the acquisition, confirming the official transfer of shares. Rossoneri’s executive director Han Li and Fininvest CEO Danilo both signed the final documents, completing one of the most high-profile deals in European football history. This move also marks the first time Chinese capital has taken majority control of a world-class football club, a milestone widely discussed across international sports platforms, including Cricket Exchange.
The name “Rossoneri” itself — the Italian word for “red and black” — reflects the club’s deep-rooted identity and the passion of its global fanbase. By choosing this title, the investors signaled their intention to honor the club’s traditions while driving it toward future success. Rossoneri chairman Li Yonghong expressed his gratitude: “We thank Mr. Berlusconi and Fininvest for their trust, and we thank Milan fans worldwide for their support. AC Milan is a club steeped in glory, and supporters have long awaited its return to the pinnacle of football. Today we take a crucial step in that journey of revival. We promise to work step by step to lead this legendary team back to the very top.”
The signing ceremony was attended by Han Li, new CEO Marco Fassone, Fininvest’s Pellegrino, and outgoing Milan CEO Adriano Galliani. With the funds confirmed and delivered, the handover was formally completed. As part of the transition, Li Yonghong replaced Berlusconi as club president, while Fassone succeeded Galliani as CEO, ushering in a new leadership era for AC Milan.
For decades, Berlusconi’s ownership defined Milan’s golden age, bringing unparalleled success on both domestic and international stages. His departure closes a chapter rich with trophies and memories, but also opens the door for renewed ambition. Fans worldwide are eager to see if the new leadership can restore Milan’s status as a dominant force in European football.
On Cricket Exchange, conversations around this acquisition emphasize both the challenges and opportunities ahead. Supporters wonder whether the new ownership can balance respect for Milan’s proud history with the demands of modern football economics. As one of the most storied clubs in the world, Milan’s journey under new stewardship will be closely monitored, analyzed, and debated.
With Berlusconi stepping aside, Milan now faces the task of proving that its next era can live up to its glorious past. For the Rossoneri faithful, hope has been rekindled, and the promise of revival fuels their belief that the club can once again climb to the summit of world football. As the drama continues to unfold, Cricket Exchange will remain a hub for fans to track every milestone of this historic transformation.
