Voices circulate in the financial environments on the financial environments on possible problems on the closing of the closing that would bring Beckett Layne Ventures (Blv) the American to buy Monza from Fininvest. The operation would include a first transfer of 80% of the shares by the end of this summer, while the remaining 20% ​​would be transferred by June 2026. The total value of the operation, sealed in July with Signing, is 45 million total, which also include the 15 million debts that the based fund in New York would take charge. For now, the Americans would have paid three million euros, so they would miss a few days to pay the other 27. As mentioned, some whispers would like strong slowdowns in payments, but both from Fininvest and by BLV these items are denied and trapped tranquility. According to the parties involved in the deal, everything proceeds correctly, without clouds on the horizon.

Continuity

The agreement between the Fininvest of the Berlusconi family and Beckett Layne Ventures had been found after months of negotiations, rumors, braking and relaunches. With the agreement signed in July, it had entered the “Interim period” phase, during which the Monza’s apical charges remained frozen, also because the market was already open and there was no time to waste. Thus, to guarantee the complete operation of Monza, the CEO Adriano Galliani remained in his place pending the closing: once completed (if it is completed …) the sales procedure, the historic manager would have the green light to return to Milan as the super consultant of the Rossoneri. However, Galliani is currently still at Monza, flanked by Mauro Baldissoni, Advisor of the American consortium, by the sports director Nicolas Burdisso and by the coordinator of the technical area of ​​the Brianza club Francesco Vallone. To get to the complete managerial revolution, it will therefore be necessary to wait for closing, which will determine the definitive transformation. Fininvest, if he leaves the scene, will do so after investing almost 300 million between purchase and payments from 28 September 2018, the official day of the purchase, to date. A constant commitment thanks to the passion of Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani, an effort that produced the first promotion in Serie A in the history of the club in 2022 and a series of investments dedicated to infrastructures: above all the U -Power Stadium and the sports center “Luigi and Silvio Berlusconi – Monzello”.

First time

For a long time, Monza was on the market, but all the negotiations had run over, including those with the Italians of Orienta Capital and the US of Gamco Investor. Everything unlocked with the advent of Beckett Layne Ventures, in a deal coordinated by the Advisor Baldissoni who had a past as a manager of Rome. Blv was founded and is managed by Brandon Berger and Lauren Crampsie. Both worked on the renovation of the CHELSEA commercial department and combine the experience accumulated in the world of sport with their advanced skills in the media and marketing sectors. Berger is the reference manager of the Operation-Monza. Among the figures engaged in the path there is also Crampsie, which in Beckett Layne Ventures plays the role of Managing Partner. Blv is not only a fund in sport, but also a reality with interests and skills in the world of entertainment with over 10 billion dollars invested. And the Monza operation would be the debut of the Berger and Crampsie fund directly in a football club. As long as everything (see remaining payments to be welded) go to the dama.
