AC Milan update: Chinese buyers pay €100m deposit but closing date may be postponed again
The club’s takeover is not on the brink of collapse now, but potential new owners are now requested to complete the club’s acquisition by the 3rd of March. Sino Europe still need to pay € 320 million to acquire the 99.93% stake in the club by that date.
Sino Europe reportedly could not complete the club’s takeover by today because some bureaucratic issues had prevented them from paying a fee of € 420 million requested to buy the Serie A giants.
According to Milano Finanza, Sino-Europe could propose AC Milan to split the last payment of € 320 million into multiple instalments but that may lead to another possible delay of the closing date.
