Potential AC Milan investor Bee Taechaubol has pleaded with president Silvio Berlusconi not to sell a controlling stake in the club to Chinese financial brokers.
A consortium from China is currently in exclusive negotiations with Berlusconi and Fininvest , the Rossoneri’s parent company, with a view to buying 80 per cent of the club immediately and the remaining 20% at a later time.
Mr Bee had appeared set to make a significant investment in the club himself since early 2015, only for talks to hit a number of stumbling blocks.
But, in an exclusive interview with Goal , Mr Bee insists that he remains ready to buy a 48% stake which would allow Berlusconi to keep his controlling interest, and that his own proposal will protect the long-term vision of the once-great Milan.
"The people who are in talks are financial brokers, and the fund manager will become CEO of Milan. With a whole bunch of money from 10 companies in China, that’s just looking at extracting money and making a profit for investors," Mr Bee explained. "I’d rather see it sold to another Italian than to somebody from overseas.
