BLV Takes Control of Monza With 80% Stake as Galliani Declines Presidency

Fininvest’s exit follows a project that generated about €240 million in net losses for the family.

Overview

  • Fininvest completed the first closing, transferring 80% of AC Monza to Beckett Layne Ventures, with the remaining 20% due to pass to BLV by June 2026.
  • Board resignations take effect on September 29, when the club approves its financials and appoints a new board under BLV.
  • The deal values Monza at roughly €45 million enterprise value, with about €15 million of debt assumed and an equity value near €30 million.
  • BLV’s leadership includes founder Brandon Berger and managing partner Lauren Crampsie, who previously worked on Chelsea’s commercial strategy.
  • BLV has been developing a revenue plan that includes a proposed partnership with Formula 1 for events linked to the Monza Grand Prix.
