AC Milan legend Billy Costacurta says the right time has arrived for the club to sell.

Milan are set to sell up next month.

“The owner is too old to manage the team, he spent a lot of money, it could be for sport or for politics, so something changed," Costacurta told the BBC World Service.

“I think we need new money, because the old owner had very little vision for the future. It's necessary for Milan to change owner and director.

“I don't see how Milan could get back to the top next year. Inter could be closer to Juventus next year, as they have a lot of money, a lot of ideas, good players and you can see right now, for me, Inter are the best team after Juventus."
