Marotta said,  “The key word is sustainability. The patronage mechanism no longer exists.

“This is proved by the fact that, luckily, foreign owners manage Milanese clubs; 60% of revenues come from TV rights, and we must sell a product to the fans.

"They are clients, and nowadays, young people struggle to watch an entire match. Therefore, the challenge is to create a better product.”
