Berlusconi: 'Milan has been sold'

By Football Italia staff

Milan President Silvio Berlusconi said the club “is already sold and those who don’t want me or Riccardo Montolivo will be happy.”

The patron said this weekend that he could postpone the closing by six to eight weeks if Chinese investors needed more time to provide financial guarantees.

“Milan are already sold,” Berlusconi told Carta Bianca on Rai 3 today.

“There are difficulties for the buyers, who occupy a position of notable value within the Chinese economy, in getting the authorisation needed to export capital from China.

“The closing is still set for December 13 and, if the authorisation does not come, or we don’t have the certainty if the capital being deposited by them to international banks, we’ll have nothing against postponing the closing by a month or a month and a half.”

What does Berlusconi think about the fans who say Milan do well when Berlusconi is absent from San Siro and so is captain Montolivo?

“Well they’ll be happy soon: after December 13 I will be in the past, that is a fact, and Montolivo will be out for a few more months, so according to them Milan will win everything.”
