It's Quiet 17 - Glory Thread

Reports today suggest Redbird are close to agreeing a €1.3 billion takeover of Milan, beating out previous favourites Investcorp.

The Bahraini investment fund have been keen to purchase the Rossoneri for a number of weeks now and have been in close talks with owners Elliott Management. They’re ready to pay around €1.2 billion for the club, but the main roadblock concerns the formula of their funding; €400m of loans in addition to €800m of equity, something Elliott doesn’t want to affect the club.

As reported by Il Sole 24 Ore, Redbird have taken a step closer to buying Milan and they’re close to reaching an agreement on the basis of €1.3 billion, which could slowly increase to €1.8 billion over the coming years.

Elliott are expected to remain as an investor in the club, still holding a stake, and things could be completed soon. Redbird are a US based investment firm owned by Gerry Cardinale, and they have a $750 million stake in Fenway Sports Group, the parent company that owns Liverpool FC.

Amazing how Elliot started worrying about the Bahraini bid as soon as Redbird offered €600m more…

I actually don’t want Madrid going after Salah or mane. The last thing we need is some dumb Spanish club refunding one of our title rivals with £100m+ and giving them money to splash in their own rebuild. Liverpool would want 100m+ for any of Mane or Salah and with 1 year left I'd rather see them leave on a free or get overpaid

I think this is a good point, but I disagree with Salah.

When Salah is playing well and scoring, he carries their team. And when he's not, he still takes up enough attention to free someone else up. Look at how Liverpool got a load worse and Diaz started becoming less influential after Salah went off against Chelsea.

They'd still do really well without him but losing a player of that quality is always going to hurt. Only Van Dijk is more important than Salah.

Mané though, yeah I'd rather they not get a big fee for him when he can be replaced.
 
They won't get 100m for either Mane or Salah due both only having 12 months left on their contracts
 
I presume that, as it stands and injury/call-up dependent, Haaland, Mahrez, and maybe Zinchenko will be our only players not going to the World Cup in November/December.
