AC Milan CEO Giorgio Furlani has claimed that the club is becoming more American and, in turn, less Italian. The exec has been with the Serie A side since 2018, when he was a high-ranking official with the team’s former ownership. Furlani, however, stayed on at Milan once RedBird Capital Partners completed the takeover in 2022. RedBird is an American investment firm that owns multiple soccer teams in Europe.

Furlani made the interesting claim about his club during a recent interview with Bloomberg TV. On the air, the interviewer specifically asked the exec about the American ownership’s influence on the team. There are currently two USMNT stars in the squad. Nevertheless, there was not a single Milan player on Italy‘s roster at Euro 2024.
