2016-17

Montella's Aesthetic Ambition

Vincenzo Montella, nicknamed 'l'aeroplanino' for his goal celebrations as a player, took the Milan bench in 2016 promising possession-based, attractive football amid the club's fraught ownership change to Chinese investors. He guided a young side to a Supercoppa Italiana triumph over Juventus in Doha, but heavy summer spending raised expectations he could not meet, and he was replaced during the following season. Montella's Milan embodied the hope and hubris of a club trying to buy its way back to relevance.

Yonghong Li: the opaque Chinese takeover that ended an era

On 13 April 2017, after months of postponements, Fininvest finally completed the sale of Milan to a Chinese-led consortium, Rossoneri Sport Investment Lux, fronted by the little-known businessman Li Yonghong, for an enterprise value of roughly 740 million euros including debt. It ended Berlusconi's thirty-one-year reign, over which Milan had won close to thirty trophies - among them eight Scudetti and five European Cups - by far the most decorated presidency in the club's history. Crucially, Li's purchase was heavily leveraged, funded in large part by a high-interest loan of around 300 million euros from the American hedge fund Elliott Management, a debt that would soon prove fatal.

Summer 2017

The 200-Million-Euro Gamble and the Reckoning with UEFA

Flush with promises from its new Chinese ownership, Milan launched an audacious summer spending spree in 2017, splashing well over 200 million euros on the likes of Leonardo Bonucci, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, André Silva, Franck Kessié, Lucas Biglia and Ricardo Rodríguez. The signing of Bonucci from champions Juventus, handed the captain's armband, was a statement of intent that stunned Italian football. Yet the outlay was wildly out of step with the club's revenues and Li Yonghong's opaque finances, and the hastily assembled squad never gelled. Results underwhelmed, and UEFA's Club Financial Control Body moved to sanction the club for breaching Financial Fair Play, a ruling Milan contested at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The gulf between ambition and the resources genuinely behind it laid bare how fragile the new ownership truly was — a financial hangover that ultimately doomed it.

2017-18 season

Cutrone's rise: the Curva's own boy scores for fun

A Milan-mad boy from the Como hinterland, Patrick Cutrone climbed straight from the Primavera into the first team in 2017-18, repaying Vincenzo Montella and then Gennaro Gattuso with a poacher's instinct for the decisive finish. His breathless celebrations in front of the Curva Sud — a supporter who had become a player — made him an instant terrace favourite as he plundered goals off the bench on Europa League and cup nights. Cutrone embodied the romance of the vivaio: uno di noi, one of us, wearing the shirt.

Milan Plants a Flag in China

Milan first played in China in 1994, and over the following decades made the country central to its global project, culminating in 2017 when the club opened its first-ever office outside Italy, in Beijing. Chinese-led ownership had just taken control through Rossoneri Sport, and Milan leaned into the market as no Italian side had, later becoming the first Serie A club to mount a fully 'digital summer tour' for its Chinese tifosi in 2020. The Rossoneri shirt, worn by Van Basten and Maldini on television screens a generation earlier, had made Milan one of Asia's most beloved European clubs. The San Siro faithful now had cousins in Shanghai and Guangzhou.

April 2017

The end of the empire

When Berlusconi finally sold Milan to a Chinese-led consortium in April 2017, he closed the longest and most decorated ownership in Italian football: thirty-one years, some twenty-nine official trophies and five European Cups. The empire that had begun with helicopters over the Arena Civica ended with a handshake and a valuation few clubs on earth could match. Whatever history's verdict on the man, the 'grande Milan' he built remains the benchmark against which every modern super-club is measured.

13 April 2017

The End of an Empire: Berlusconi Lets Go of Milan After 31 Years

On 13 April 2017 the sale closed in Milan: Silvio Berlusconi's Fininvest completed the transfer of its 99.93 percent controlling stake in AC Milan to Rossoneri Sport Investment Lux, the Chinese-led consortium fronted by businessman Li Yonghong, for a figure around 740 million euros. It ended thirty-one years of the Berlusconi presidency — the longest and most decorated ownership in the club's history, with twenty-nine trophies including eight Scudetti and five European Cups. Berlusconi took his leave with an open letter to the Milanisti, describing the sale as a painful act of love: modern football's global finances, he argued, demanded resources beyond what a family owner could give. At Milanello the era of the descending helicopter was over; he would later confess that parting with Milan grieved him like little else in his public life. An era of trophies gave way to an era of uncertainty as the Rossoneri passed into unfamiliar hands.

Serie A 2016-17

2016-17: Berlusconi sells after 31 years

Vincenzo Montella's Milan won the Supercoppa Italiana in Doha in December 2016, beating Juventus on penalties, and a sixth-place finish returned the club to Europe via the Europa League for the first time in three seasons; Carlos Bacca again led the scoring with 13 league goals. The epochal event came off the pitch: in April 2017 Silvio Berlusconi's Fininvest completed the sale of the club to Li Yonghong's Rossoneri Sport Investment Lux, ending 31 years and 29 trophies of Berlusconi ownership. Suso and the teenage Donnarumma were the emerging pillars of the side.

China tour under new ownership: Dortmund and Bayern in the ICC

Weeks after a Chinese-led consortium completed its takeover of the club, Milan flew east in July 2017 for the International Champions Cup, a symbolically loaded return to the new owners' home market. In Guangzhou the Rossoneri battled Borussia Dortmund to a draw and came through the penalty shootout, before a heavy defeat to Bayern Munich in Shenzhen brought them back to earth. The tour blended commercial ambition with the first on-pitch glimpses of Vincenzo Montella's expensively rebuilt squad.

Ringhio returns: Gattuso takes the Milan bench

Ringhio returns: Gattuso takes the Milan bench

With the expensive new project sputtering and the club adrift in its first post-Berlusconi season, Milan dismissed Vincenzo Montella on 27 November 2017 and turned to one of its own warriors, promoting club legend Gennaro Gattuso from the Primavera bench to first-team head coach. His baptism was theatre of the absurd: at Benevento on 3 December, goalkeeper Alberto Brignoli soared to head a 95th-minute equaliser, handing the bottom club the first Serie A point in their history. From that farce 'Ringhio' — all snarling passion and Calabrian grit — built order, restoring discipline, spirit and steel to a demoralised dressing room and driving Milan back into European contention within months. The former midfield enforcer now faced the hardest fight of his Milan life from the touchline.

Cutrone's extra-time winner in the Christmas Coppa derby

Between Christmas and New Year, Gattuso's newly inherited Milan met Inter in a Coppa Italia quarter-final that stayed goalless deep into extra time. Then Patrick Cutrone, the 19-year-old striker raised in the club's own academy, turned home the winner in the 104th minute and sprinted away with the wide-eyed fury of a boy who had grown up dreaming exactly this. The 1-0 win gave Gattuso's rebuilding project its first landmark and San Siro a new curva darling.
