Cardinale: If Milan play pre-season friendlies abroad, they will only be in the US

Milan owner Gerry Cardinale said that if the Rossoneri play friendlies abroad during the summer months, they will only be held in the United States. Speaking to Gazzetta, Cardinale stressed that these matches must benefit the team, and that earning the club a few million is no longer the goal.

Cardinale said the decision has not yet been made and that head coach Ruben Amorim will decide based on what is best for the team. He said each trip will be evaluated separately, and added that they will not take part in tours organised by others. He said players come first and that the aim is to prepare well so the team is ready to win.

Amorim took over at Milan last summer and signed a three-year contract with the Serie A giants. Officially the contract runs until June 2029, but the agreement includes an option for one additional season.

Cardinale made his comments during the presentation of Milan Sports & Entertainment, a holding company that will bring together the Milan-based assets of RedBird Capital Partners.
