When Massimiliano Mirabeli and Marco Fassone took control of AC Milan last year they promised great things to come for the Rossoneri. Fast forward one year and the club has a totally renovated management and a new owner. Yonghong Li out, in the Americans of Elliot Management Fund who are sparing no investment for AC Milan.

In fact, under the management of the previous ownership, one of the most bizarre AC Milan transfers happened on 16 March. Former sporting director Massimiliano Mirabelli signed Nathan Soares Bernardes on a two year contract.

Nathan Soares was a 18 year old striker, totally unknown even in his homeland. What’s more grotesque is the fact that before signing for AC Milan, Nathan Soares Bernardes, a former youth product of Cruzeiro, had been without a team for seven months.

It’s unimaginable to think what made Mirabelli sign a player that for months had failed to secure a professional contract in Brazil. In his Italian adventure the Brazilian played only 34 minutes with Milan Primavera in a cup match against Torino. A horrible and embarrassing performance. As soon as Leonardo was appointed technical director of Milan he took care of the matter.
