AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has joked about the need to sell the club to a Chinese group.
He was speaking to potential voters in Aversa during his political election campaign.
“I've eaten your delicious mozzarella di bufala, so I'll set the Chinese mozzarella aside," said Berlusconi.
“We've had it up to here with the Chinese, haven't we? And yet I am negotiating with them to sell Milan: it's a disaster.
“I have even started learning Chinese. In a week I learned seven words."
