AC Milan legend Ruud Gullit can't imagine the club without Silvio Berlusconi.

Berlusconi is in the process of selling Milan to Chinese interests.

"Selling to foreign owners is the future," the Dutchman told SportMediaset.

"However, I don't think Berlusconi will leave the club completely.

"I can't see Milan without him, but I think if there is interest in the club that might be a good thing for everyone.

"[In Italian football] there isn't much money, and the stadia are old. You have to develop young people and wait patiently for results.

"That's the right road, but if a foreign investor wants to help they'd be welcome."
