Former AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi insists Yonghong Li passed all his checks ahead of selling the club to the Chinese businessman.

A media campaign against Li has led to UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin saying he was “worried" about the Rossoneri's Financial Fair Play proposal.

“The new owner of Milan is a very nice person and he maintained all the pledges made with us," Berlusconi told Che Tempo Che Fa.

“Finivest (his holding company, ndr) evaluated his proposal by relying on international advisors and important legal firms.

“The new Milan owner also maintained the promise to invest €250m on the transfer market. The way they use that money on the market and the tactics Milan employ on the pitch are things I cannot intervene on."
