Elliott provided financing to Li Yonghong when the Chinese businesman bought AC Milan in 2017 for €740 million. A year later, the Americans took control of the Italian giant after Li Yonghong failed to pay back his 300 million euro loan with a rather high interest rate. Last summer, the hedge fund sold Milan to another American-based investor “Redbird” for one billion two hundred million euros.
