Milan sold to 'Mr Pink'?

By Football Italia staff

There are reports Milan have sold 51 per cent of their shares to Poe Qiu Ying Wang Shuo, nicknamed Mr Pink.

The story emerged in Romania via website wowbiz.ro and came accompanied by photographs of President Silvio Berlusconi signing paperwork with the Chinese businessman.

The multi-millionaire is commonly known as Mr Pink because of his energy drink, which is hugely popular in America.

The reason this story emerged in Romania is that Mr Pink’s ex-girlfriend, Romanian model Monica Gabor, went to the media with these ‘secret’ photographs.

“Compliments to Mr Pink, because he signed with the ex-Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and became Milan’s majority shareholder.”

The report suggests Berlusconi sold 51 per cent of the club.

This follows on from Fininvest’s refusal to comment on reports at the weekend of a deal with Thai investor Bee Taechaubol.

In the past Berlusconi’s holding company had always released statements insisting he had no intention of selling the club.

This time, the statement merely noted it would “not comment on rumours.”

On Saturday CEO Adriano Galliani also gave a cryptic answer to questions on this story.

“According to the rules of global finance, talking about these things is down to the owners. Milan are not owned by Milan, we are owned by Silvio Berlusconi and Fininvest.

“Any type of comment is to be made by Fininvest, it is not my place to do so.”
