Ebadat Advises Buyer Group in Advanced Bid for Italian Serie A Club A.C. Monza (Serie A)
Houston, TX – June 27, 2025 — Ebadat served as lead counsel to a U.S.-based investor consortium in its proposed acquisition of A.C. Monza, a prominent Italian football club currently competing in Serie A, the top division of Italian professional football.
The bid progressed to the final stages of negotiation and regulatory review before the sellers elected to pursue an alternative transaction. Ebadat advised the buyer group throughout the process, coordinating cross-border diligence, Italian regulatory strategy, and football governance analysis.
