Milan owner Gerry Cardinale will be at San Siro for the Europa League quarter-final clash with Roma, ready for the derby with Dan Friedkin before turning his attention internally.
The Rossoneri have essentially booked their spot in the Champions League for next season as a result of their strong form in Serie A, allowing them to divert their focus to the Europa League, where they’ll face the Giallorossi in the quarter-finals.
Some reports have suggested that Stefano Pioli’s future at the helm of Milan entirely depends on how things go in the Europa League, and De Rossi is also seemingly fighting to earn a long-term contract with Roma, raising the stakes of the all-Italian affair.

Calciomercato.com details how Cardinale has landed in Italy and will attend the upcoming Europa League clash between his Milan and Friedkins’ Roma at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, wanting to support his club before turning his attention to backroom work.
The Rossoneri owner will have a full agenda, focused on the new stadium project in San Donato, the youth system, the future of Pioli and the plans for the summer transfer window. He has also reportedly met with the US ambassador to Italy, Jack Markell.
