Silvio Berlusconi has been speaking once again about the proposed sale of Milan on December 13. Speaking on Rai 3, the patron once was once again quizzed about exactly what the latest developments were at the club and he explained that; “Will I be selling the club to the Chinese? It’s already sold. There are some bureaucratic hurdles to overcome in respect to getting the authorization required to export the capital from China. The closing date is set for December 13 but if there are problems getting the cash deposited then we don’t mind postponing for another month, month and a half.”  

He was then asked to explain comments from fans that the club will be more successful without himself and midfielder Riccardo Montolivo. Berlusconi replied sarcastically that; “Well, they will soon get their wish as after the 13th I will be history and Montolivo is injured for months, therefore, Milan should win everything!”
