Serie A Title Race Heats Up
00:00:14
Speaker
OK, so we have Milan win, Inter win, Juve drop points. Nima, this Scurretto race, it's coming down to the wire. Tonight we have Napoli facing Roma, one misstep, and it could really cost any of them. Inter are the favorites for sure, but not by much.
00:00:25
Speaker
The following is a clip from this week's Italian football
Impact of Copa Italia on Serie A
00:00:31
Speaker
podcast.
00:00:31
Speaker
And I think whoever wins out of Milan and Inter in the Copa Italia will also have a giant impact on the Serie A race, simply for momentum reasons.
00:00:41
Speaker
Again, I mean, if Napoli were to win tonight, then they're right back in it because they have a much easier fixture list coming up. So, no, I still maintain what I said all along. I think this thing is going to the final match day.
Elliott Fund's Milan Ownership Talks
00:00:54
Speaker
It's also interesting, too, in recent days, we see it emerged that Milan's current owners, the Elliott Fund, have open talks with InvestCorp to acquire the club. Elliott, we're only there because we all know how they got the club. It was due to Mr. Lee.
00:01:14
Speaker
defaulting on his loans. So that's how they got this. And it was quite obvious that they were just there to make the numbers look good and balance the numbers and books and then sell on. And now they look like they're going to do it for 1.1 billion euros. I mean, we had a confirmation tweet from the Bahraini embassies, their account.
InvestCorp's Vision for Milan
00:01:31
Speaker
Whatever happens, the most important thing that this is an owner who wants to build with Milan
00:01:35
Speaker
in in in the long run and not just you know do what the eliot fun did to just make maintain and to sell out a profit i don't think that that's what they want to do you know based on what they've said is they see me on as they want to return me onto its former glory and win champions league and stuff like that which is only gonna be a good for for the city and italian football as a whole.
