AC Milan Chinese takeover on the brink of collapse
Sino Europe had already paid a deposit of €100 million and an extra € 100 million fee is requested as a fine for the delayed closing date. The Chinese consortium has had bureaucratic issues and has been unable to send the payment today although they should complete the €100 million deposit in 24 hours time.
If new Chinese buyers fail to pay the deposit by tomorrow, the deal could collapse with Silvio Berlusconi who is set to remain in charge of AC Milan after thirty years of presidency and two collapsed negotiations for the club’s sale.
