Milan, Fassone: " I am very surprised by Uefa's decision..."
"It's important for us to take a position after the UEFA statement. We are very surprised and bitter about this news. I was expecting UEFA to offer us a settlement agreement. This has only happened once in the past involving a Russian club. UEFA said that the fact that the debt wasn't refinanced yet casts shadows. We continously paid the debt during the season without any doubts so yes I am surprised. This certainly hurts our image but we are still hopeful. Milan are paying for the 2014-2017 period but I still believed that we deserved an agreement. We will now talk it over with our lawyers...".
