AC Milan owner Gerry Cardinale has clarified that he has the final say in the club's transfer business. In a statement to Calcio e Finanza, Cardinale emphasized that he approves every single cent spent on player acquisitions. This comes after reports suggested that new CEO Massimo Calvelli had been given the green light to sign off on deals up to €50m.

Cardinale stated that no one at AC Milan has approval rights on the transfer market except him. He added that his power of approval is unilateral, but that he works as part of a team, with input from the coach and his team. However, when it comes to making a decision, Cardinale is the one who gives the final green light.

This reinforces Cardinale's hands-on approach to the club's transfer policy. The new management structure promotes collective thinking, but ultimately, Cardinale is the one who makes the decisive call. This was evident in the signing of Mario Gila, with Cardinale being the one to approve the deal.

Cardinale's statement sets the record straight regarding who is in control of AC Milan's transfer business. The club's owner is keen to emphasize his involvement in the decision-making process.
