If not just outright miracles happen, AC Milan will end this year without a title. For special resentment among the many fans of the Rossoneri has for years the lack of purchasing policy. While the city rivals Inter for - at least in the league - is upgrading unbeatable measure of all things and the old lady Juve with a commitment by Diego and a private stadium establishes itself for the future, Milan has practically with the formation of 2005 (+ Pato) . The reasons for the lack of intervention in the transfer market are diverse, critical point is certainly the dual position of the club's owner and prime minister Silvio Berlusconi: On one hand, self in times of crisis, rising unemployment and slogans of the "belts buckles," not even just 150 million in its "toy" push, on the other hand, he has a majority government in times of unchallenged AC Milan as a campaign aid and image spin is no longer necessary. Moreover, his wife Veronica 2 weeks ago has filed for divorce, in addition to the impending financial implications of that fact, the media accompanying fireworks rose an expected war did not fit in Berlusconi's concept. He can thus actually making the necessary investments for reasons of image, not of the same image reasons, he may, however, one problem with his club in the middle class now but do not allow it. What would happen then the image of the radiating and potent winners at all levels?

The fact is, however, that the one team with an average age of over 30 years now and can not be arbitrarily changed extrapolate into the future. At season's end Milan legend Paolo Maldini (who races tomorrow in Udine its 900th game for the red and black) with 41 years of the Topper on the nail will depend, Emerson had his contract been disbanded in the spring, the future of the 36-year-old central defender Giuseppe Favalli written in the stars and success coach Carlo Ancelotti is probably the end of the season to pack his bags and move to Chelsea. It's kind words to say that the heart of the midfield to Gattuso, Dida, Seedorf and Pirlo has already passed its zenith - the defense has to be renewed completely, however. As the names are prominent newcomers Mexes (interior defense, Roma) and Adebayor (Sturm, Arsenal) traded. These must be kept Kaka, whose drive sales, fans of the Rossoneri would seriously up in arms. It must be so invested, and if possible at high levels. Because of their own offspring was badly neglected for well over 10 years, is expected from there (as opposed to Inter and Juventus in particular) to no help. What to do? How quiet are the already audible rumbling fan base?

Already this season, the Stiummen compacted to a takeover or at least one entry of "Arabs" at AC Milan. Towards the end of the season , there are increasing rumors again , fueled by a visit from a son of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates in the game against Palermo . The Al Maktoum family is practically identified as major sponsor from 2010, should then also from the arsenal of known bwin replace "Fly Emirates" the current shirt sponsor. The numbers for this deal range between 20 and 30 million euros per season. It is not enough to the club, who wrote in the past year € 67 million loss, short term lead to the very top again and probably will not satisfy such a symbolic commitment also tend to sheiks from the UAE.

The rumor is mounting that Silvio Berlusconi, now the urging of his children Piersilvio and Marina, the leaders could give his empire Fininvest, which have always considered the annual loss of millions of AC Milan extremely critical, and could now accept at least a partial sale of shares of the club . And fresh capital could indeed come from the UAE, specifically, by the Abu Dhabi United Group (ADUG), even more specifically with immediate effect, € 500 million for 35% of the shares, secured by a guarantee in the sum of the PNB Paribas.

It is expected that the "sheikh" would not enter into such an investment for a permanent minority participation. And so immersed in the relevant discussions again and again, the reference to a possible "put option", ie, an option on the full 100% AC Milan in two years to an already determined price. Berlusconi would thus acquire the right to separate itself in 2 years from the rest of its shares, it is not the duty of this, therefore, without a business - financial - risks for the smart Silvio. The club owner would need at the moment so no investments, could decide in two years, but still free to do whatever he wants with his "toys". Without fresh capital to him that decision was forced upon them after the expiry of the current season - his pathetic attempt to coach impose Ancelotti the sole blame for the present season was indeed rejected by more than 72% of respondents to an online survey in the Gazzetta dello Sport brusquely. And in the San Siro faithful Curva Sud is now regularly find huge banners saying that Berlusconi calling for sale of the club.

We always move in the field of speculation, however, the situation actually calls for rapid action. More seasons without a title, may not particularly relish the English supremacy in the Champions League, the actual playing field of the "most decorated clubs in the world" to be allowed, and reduce the value of the mark "AC Milan". The number to the available total sales of AC Milan in the room is certainly absurdly high, but we must include in the mind games that are in such an event certainly not just a football club and its new stadium is (Galliani has this season regularly on the need for the stadium property expressed, Juve, Milan and AS Roma have similar plans already in the drawer), but a general entry of the United Arab Emirates in the Italian economy. Peanuts are not here to change that is certainly the owner. And if you could agree with such a meaningful sum-friendly than the "chief of det Janze" Silvio Berlusconi? Meanwhile Maktoum was even spotted in Arcore. In the House of Berlusconi.

Sulaiman Al Fahim, Chief Financial Officer of the "Hydra Properties" would be responsible for contract and investment, and we should not forget that the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority already with more than 2% of Berlusconi's media empire, Mediaset is involved - a fact that the forest of leaves already Winter was rushing, as the transfer of midfielder Ricardo Kaka to Manchester City by Sheikh shook the market for 120 million €. Smart observers thought here at an investment "from the left into the right pocket." The Sun said at the time that Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, his character's father by the current City owner Sheikh Mansour Bin-Zayed Al Nahyan, longtime business associate of Berlusconi. Took over after his death in 2004, Sheikh Mansour Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the brother of Mansour So, the shares of Berluscas media empire. The Abu Dhabi Royal Investment Fund holds more than 2% of Berlusconi's media giant Mediaset itself, and 16% of Barclays Bank - Barclays in turn holds itself more than 5% of Mediaset, making it single largest shareholder after Berlusconi.

And against this background of the visit was one of the sons of the Emir in Palermo game maybe a meaning. After all, he spent the day at the side of the Interim-President Adriano Galliani , the team visited and had ample opportunity to look at the venerable stadium San Siro. Until further notice, the venue of AC Milan.

There is something moving behind closed doors and present the Gazzette fascinating debate, who will sit as eim next year on the bench no more than a shield for potentially more profound changes in the Milanese club tradition. It should be exciting until the end of May we will have to wait. Meanwhile, we can even speculate about the future coach.

PS: The AC Milan contradicts course again categorical and most energetic of the above speculations!
