This is also the future plan of AC Milan for Barbara. "For me, this is a major opportunity for career development, and I will focus on the operation of the club. As for my role, I hope to make contributions in all aspects. I want to build a solid club framework, of course, while adhering to tradition," said Barbara. At the same time, however, Barbara, the daughter of Berlusconi, assured fans that even if AC Milan will place more emphasis on financial balance in the future, she would still provide financial support for the Rossoneri: "AC Milan cannot survive without financial support, and I will regularly inject capital into the club." Since taking over AC Milan with confidence, Barbara naturally denied the rumors that the Berlusconi family was going to sell AC Milan. "We have never thought about selling AC Milan. Of course, we did indeed ask someone to calculate the value of AC Milan, but evaluating the cost and value of a club is a very common thing." Barbara said, "In Italy, making money from football is still a utopia, but we should at least maximize the economic potential of football and avoid waste."
The strong performance of AC Milan this season has rekindled Berlusconi's interest, or rather, Berlusconi's renewed passion has initiated the recovery of AC Milan. But no matter what, the generational change of the Rossoneri is inevitable, not only on the field, but also within the club itself. The entry of Barbara Berlusconi, the daughter of the Italian Prime Minister, into the management team of the club was one of the signs. This woman, who will soon replace her father as the No. 1 person in AC Milan, recently accepted an interview with Vanity Fair and revealed part of her plans after taking over the Rossoneri.
The personnel structure under Barbara's control will undergo changes, which makes people curious. However, Barbara assured that Galliani's position would definitely not be shaken. "Galliani is an irreplaceable pivot of AC Milan. For me, he has too much wisdom for me to learn. I believe that Galliani is the most talented sports manager today. Look at his management experience of the past thirty years and how many successes he has brought us. Don't forget, he is also the pioneer of the television broadcasting era," Barbara sincerely expressed.
In fact, not long ago, many media outlets revealed that Berlusconi was contacting buyers for AC Milan because none of his children were willing to take over the money-burning toy that is AC Milan. However, the Italian Prime Minister's love for AC Milan is beyond doubt, so the decision to sell the club would break Berlusconi's heart. In this interview, Barbara frankly admitted that she decided to take over AC Milan largely for her father. "For me, AC Milan is the embodiment of my father. His emotions with this club are inseparable, and their successes are always tied together," Barbara told Vanity Fair, "My family has always been passionate about AC Milan, and my decision to become the manager of the club is also aimed at protecting my family. Of course, the only president of AC Milan is Silvio Berlusconi, and I am still too young to replace him."
