AC Milan patron Silvio Berlusconi says his transfer spending is set to continue this summer. Milan have become the most successful club in the world - in terms of trophies won - thanks to the Italian Prime Minister's money and he's ready to get his chequebook out yet again.
"My family has invested an average of 50m a season in Milan," he said. "That figure was 70m last year and I promise to continue with my costly habit of giving gifts to the Milan fans."
Berlusconi caused a stir last month when he claimed that he'd like to sign Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, but he now admits that may not be possible.
"Everyone likes Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona's Lionel Messi, but the Spanish game is rich and has different tax laws," he added.
"As a result, it is hard to get into a bidding war with Spanish clubs for the greatest players."
