- RedBird Capital currently holds 99.93% of shares in the Serie A club
- American media boss David Ellison may purchase a small portion of the Italian side
- The club is worth around €1.6 billion today
- This value could double or triple after the new stadium opens
RedBird Capital Partners, the American investment firm led by Gerry Cardinale, might sell a small part of AC Milan to David Ellison. Reports from Italy say the owners are thinking about giving the Hollywood executive a minor role in the club.
Ellison serves as the chairman and chief executive of Paramount Skydance, a major media company. Sources suggest that Cardinale does not wish to sell the whole club. Instead, he is open to sharing a small percentage with the Ellison family.
The two businessmen already know each other well. Earlier this year, Ellison’s company tried to buy Warner Bros. Discovery. RedBird helped fund that bid in September 2025.
At present, experts value AC Milan at roughly €1.6 billion. However, this figure could jump to between €3 billion and €4 billion once the team finishes building its new stadium. The Rossoneri hope this modern arena will boost income and help them compete with Europe’s biggest clubs.
RedBird bought the Italian giants in 2022. Since then, they have looked for ways to strengthen the club’s financial position while keeping control of day-to-day operations.
