Chinese businessman Fu Yixiang has announced he's aiming to buy into AC Milan. Fu says he's among several Chinese investors keen on the Rossoneri.
"China has chosen Milan because it's a great club," Fu told newspaper Libero.
"All the main investors are linked to the football world. The Wanda group bought TV rights company Infront, Jack Ma of Alibaba owns 50 per cent of Guangzhou Evergrande, which had Marcello Lippi as Coach and now Fabio Cannavaro.
"The Huawei group is a very active brand in sponsorship and already partners Milan. They'd all have the possibility of buying the club outright, but do not currently have the determination to conduct the operation by themselves."
Owner Silvio Berlusconi has suggested AC Milan is worth around 1bn, but Fu reveals a different approach to financing the deal.
"We could only spend that money by selling shares to the fans. You couldn't do that in Italy, as there wouldn't be enough fans ready to pay, but a trust in China is possible.
"It wouldn't be hard to find 500,000 fans ready to invest. A Milan side built by the Chinese people could become an unstoppable star in the football world."
