POLICY WIRE — London, UK — RedBird Capital, the investment firm that owns AC Milan, has expressed interest in acquiring a stake in Premier Rugby. The proposal comes as the firm seeks to expand its footprint in the sports industry.

The Gallagher Premiership Final, held last year between Exeter Chiefs and Northampton Saints at London’s Allianz Stadium, highlighted the growing commercial appeal of rugby. RedBird’s interest aligns with this trend, aiming to capitalize on the sport’s rising popularity and financial potential.

RedBird Capital’s proposal is currently under review by Premier Rugby officials. The potential acquisition could bring significant changes to the league’s financial structure and competitive landscape.
