Bee Taechaubol has declared he now has the finances to buy into AC Milan.

Milan had been waiting for several months for Bee to put together a consortium to meet his commitment of buying 48 per cent of the club before turning to a Chinese group.

“In all honesty, I never disappeared from these negotiations," insisted Taechaubol to Gazzetta dello Sport.

“Naturally, since the other consortium signed an exclusivity deal with Fininvest, I remained respectfully in the background, but from December 2014 my efforts to secure an agreement to buy part of AC Milan were never interrupted. And now, a few days from the end of this exclusivity agreement, I want Milan fans to know there is another possibility.

“Berlusconi can keep Milan and remain at the helm. There are groups and people who are strongly interested in helping me reach this agreement.

“The investors who supported me originally backed out, so I had to find other partners and that was not easy due to the crisis in the Asian markets, but now they are here, they are very solid and ready to invest.

“This is my offer: buy 48 per cent of the club, immediate transfer kitty of €100m for this session and at least another €100m every year.

“I'd also float the club on the stock exchange within two years, as all big clubs are. I am so convinced that Milan should remain under the ownership of Berlusconi that I'm prepared to put at his disposal my commercial work in Asia even if he doesn't sell to anybody."
