RedBird Capital Partners has agreed to buy Italy’s AC Milan for 1.2 billion euros ($1.3 billion), becoming the latest in a growing number of private equity firms taking charge of Europe’s elite football teams.

US-based RedBird is acquiring a controlling stake in the seven-time European champions from hedge fund Elliott Management Corp., it said in a statement Wednesday that confirmed earlier Bloomberg News reporting.
