'Please don't sell AC Milan to China' - Mr. Bee says he and Berlusconi can make the club great again

The Thai entrepreneur believes the club should remain in Italian hands, and claims the current Chinese takeover proposals would rob the Rossoneri of their identity.

EXCLUSIVE

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 percent of the club immediately and the remainder 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.
