Not only a new stadium. Berlusconi and co. are interested in bringing Milan back & Corriere dello Sport suggests some changes can be made soon.

President Silvio Berlusconi has ‘returned to being close to Milan’ as yesterday he marked his 14th straight visit to training center Milanello. Adriano Galliani, Barbara and some sponsors were there as was il Corriere dello Sport editor Paolo De Paola and the Rome-based newspaper have an ‘exclusive’ piece on Saturday’s edition talking about the future of Milan.

According to il Corriere, Milan’s plan consists for several aspects, some of which appear to be quite difficult to execute.

It’s reported that the Rossoneri are looking to follow the model of Bayern Munich. The German club has three main investors, who control 25% of the club – Adidas, Audi and Allianz (the rest of the shares are held by the company represented by Franz Beckenbauer). Milan are thinking of doing something similar, perhaps also with Adidas and Audi but the name of Fly Emirates also comes up as they’ve recently expressed interest in helping Milan finance their new stadium, which will be completed in 2019 or 2020, according to CdS (Barbara Berlusconi commented on the issue yesterday after meeting with sponsors). There is also the idea of selling some of the shares to fans.

The other aspect of the reported plan is to bring back Fabio Capello, Carlo Ancelotti and Arrigo Sacchi. The idea sounds a bit hard to accomplish and far stretched but it’s said that Milan want to have a new role for these three men to work as the three ‘wise men’ of Rossoneri, contributing their knowledge in the areas of strategy, consultation and scouting while also serving as ambassadors in the world. Ancelotti and Capello are still active coaches so it would be hard to imagine such roles for them in the near future but Galliani has already claimed he is ready to welcome back Sacchi at any time and that both Berlusconi and he want the former Rossoneri boss again in the club.

However, a lot depends on the results of the team of Filippo Inzaghi. The newspaper il Corriere dello Sport claims that reaching third place this season is vital for the future plan. Investments in the transfer market can return if the Diavolo finish in a Champions League position.

Milan have been talking about returning to top for months now but so far there have been more words than actions. il Corriere is claiming Milan are planning their future, but only time will tell.
