Berlusconis Erben Sell AC Monza: A new chapter begins!
Monza, Italien - The family of Silvio Berlusconi, who died in June 2023, withdraws from the football business with the sale of the AC Monza football club. The contract for the transfer of the shares was signed on July 1, 2025 in Milan. The British investment fund Beckett Layne Ventures (BLV) has taken over 80 percent participation in AC Monza, while the remaining 20 percent are to be handled by June 2026. The total value of the deal amounts to 45 million euros, as Italian media report. This transaction marks the final farewell of the Berlusconi family from the world of football.
In his life's work, Silvio Berlusconi was not only four times Italian Prime Minister, but also over 30 years President of AC Milan, one of the most famous clubs in the world. The Berlusconi family had taken over AC Monza 2018 and promoted this club in 2022 into series A for the first time. After a disappointing performance last season, in which Monza ended as the bottom of the table with only three wins from 38 games, the club now looks at a future in series b.new owner with experience
The US fund Beckett Layne Ventures is new to the football business, but has already invested over $ 10 billion in various media and entertainment sectors. The founders, Brandon Berger and Lauren Crampsie, previously participated in the restructuring of the commercial department of Chelsea. Monza is considered a strategically important location by BLV, especially due to its proximity to Milan, less than 30 kilometers away.
The sale of Monza illustrates a larger trend towards foreign investments in Italian football, especially in series A. The number of clubs under foreign control has increased from seven to eleven, which corresponds to an increase of 55 percent. Other clubs in the US ownership include traditional clubs such as AC Milan and Inter Milan, which underlines the attractiveness of Italian football for investors.

The explanation of the increase in foreign investments is based on various factors, including history, fan base and the growth potential of Italian football. Clubs like Atalanta B.C. And the Fiorentina are further examples of international capital inflows. But these changes also bring about challenges, such as the need to find a balance between international talent and local player development.
With the sale of AC Monza by the Berlusconi family, the era of one of the most famous faces of Italian football will come to an end and the image of Serie A will continue to change. It remains to be seen how the club will develop under new leadership and whether it can build on the previous successes in the second division. Whether the new ownership can set the course for a promising future is one of the big questions that will accompany the next season.
