The two are associated with significant sales. However, Furlani stated to Bloomberg, “Our goal is to compete in the Champions League and to fight for the title in Italy every year.” We manage a viable business while doing this; for example, Milan turned a profit last year for the first time in 17 years.

Such is her skill-level, and popularity, she’s competing in the WNBA All-Star Game, and her debut has shattered ratings records.
