Tomorrow evening, Gerry Cardinale will be at San Siro to witness AC Milan's first leg of the round of 16 in the Champions League against Tottenham. The return to Milan for the RedBird founder, after four months since his last visit, is motivated by the occasion: Cardinale desires to witness firsthand a prestigious European night, testing the team's international competitiveness.
The primary reason for his visit is to immerse himself in the atmosphere. As for the ongoing discussions regarding the club, Gerry Cardinale regularly speaks with President Paolo Scaroni and CEO Giorgio Furlani about the key matters. However, resolving the Leao contract renewal situation is challenging as it remains at a standstill for months due to the need to secure the payment of the Portuguese forward's fine to Sporting Lisbon, as per Tuttosport.
The situation regarding the new stadium is also becoming clear. Both AC Milan and Inter Milan await the public utility declaration from the City Council, which will only come once the Superintendency assures that it will not impose any restrictions on San Siro. In the event of an extended impasse, Milan will move to a different area, as will Inter. It is yet to be confirmed if Gerry Cardinale will depart on Wednesday or extend his stay in Milan. His schedule is always kept under strict confidentiality, which is at odds with his role as a football club owner, a position that draws significant public attention.
