Gerry Cardinale, last April 18, was in Milan for a programmatic meeting with Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Giorgio Furlani. This was reported by Peppe Di Stefano on Sky Sport. The presence of the Rossoneri owner in the city for just a few hours was certainly newsworthy because there had been no records of his appearances in Milan since the day of Milan-Venezia, his last public appearance at San Siro (he had instead been seen in Madrid, alongside Florentino Perez, on the occasion of Real Madrid-Milan in November).
Why was Gerry Cardinale in Milan?
According to Sky, the meeting between the founder of RedBird, Ibrahimovic, and Furlani was about the planning for Milan ahead of the summer, in a summit that took place one month after the visit of the Milan CEO to New York and two months after the talks in London with the candidates for the sporting director position (where Cardinale and Ibrahimovic met Andrea Berta, Fabio Paratici, and Igli Tare, with the Albanian sporting director being, among those three profiles, the only one still in the running for the role), as relayed via Milannews.it.
