Transfer at market value level
Dutch international Noa Lang has long been linked with a move from Belgian champions Club Brugge to Italian counterparts AC Milan. The “Gazzetta dello Sport“Became really concrete for the first time, citing its own information, as far as the rumor is concerned, about which the “Nieuwsblad‘ had reported.
According to this, Paolo Maldini and Frederic Massara, the sporting directors of the Rossoneri, met with the father of the 22-year-old offensive all-rounder and adviser Bart Baving from the Wasserman agency in the Casa Milan on Wednesday. There was a breakthrough – Lang’s priority for a change in the summer has been with the Italians for weeks anyway.
The right-footed player, who mostly came from the left in Brugge at the start of the season but ended up acting as a hanging striker, was offered the role behind the central AC striker in the system by coach Stefano Pioli. On the left, the Lombards are already heavily occupied with Rafael Leão (22). The Belgian champion is said to have promised Lang a long time ago that he would be allowed to make the step into a top league this year. With the rumored transfer fee of 20 million to 22 million, Bruges is on the market value level.

AC Milan: Transfer of Noa Lang depends on change of ownership
According to the Gazzetta, the fact that Maldini and Massara have not yet closed the deal is due to the ongoing negotiations about another change of ownership in Milan. The investment fund “Elliott” wants to sell the majority of its shares. Most recently, with “RedBird”, a US company is said to have replaced the Bahraini “Investcorp” in the race for Milan. The agency “Reuters” reportedthat “Investcorp”, which is said to have offered one billion euros, has withdrawn. “RedBird”, which has interests in Toulouse FC and the “Fenway Sports Group”, which in turn owns Liverpool FC and also owns the Boston Red Sox baseball team, is willing to pay 1.3 billion euros.

The US hedge fund “Elliot Management” took over the club as a majority shareholder with 99.93 percent in the summer of 2018 from Chinese businessman Yonghong Li. He bought AC Milan a year earlier from long-time owner and former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and borrowed it in the process Money from “Elliot Management”. Because Li could not pay his debts due to payment problems, the club was sold and “Elliot Management” became the new owner.
It comes as no surprise that the US hedge fund exited around four years later. Club president Paolo Scaroni announced last fall that “Elliot” would sell sooner or later. In December 2021, however, he believed that such a project was “still a long way off”. Since the takeover by the US hedge fund led by billionaire Paul Singer, the Rossoneri have experienced sporting highs again – including their first championship since 2011.
