Football following - Silvio Berlusconi has so long had AC Milan. However, if it had, Berlusconi could have sold the Rossoneri to foreign investors in the future.
Berlusoni acquired Milan in 1986 and saved the club from bankruptcy. In the era of Berlusconi, Il Diavolo Rosso emerged as one of the most successful clubs in the world.
However, in recent years, Milan hit by financial problems. As a result, they have a lot to downsize. They take well-paid players such as Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva. In the transfer market, they are also very selective in recruiting the player.
For now, Berlusconi and his family will try to defend Milan. But, if one day's financial condition continued to deteriorate, he will probably let foreign investors take over the club.
"Foreign money in Milan? Only if I was forced to do so. But, I want no requirement for such a thing," said Berlusconi told ANSA.
"I want to keep Milan remains family owned. I still remember when my father took me to the stadium and not have to pay the ticket since I was a kid," he recalls.
"Watching football, watching on my hero. I began to understand what it means to people," said the former Italian prime minister.
"For me, there in the heart of Milan. Over the years we spend more and more money, maybe too much. But, it makes Milan became the most successful team in the world," he said.
"This club is a part of my family. My daughter Barbara is now a part of the company, and I want to continue that," said Berlusconi.
"However, that does not mean I will immediately reject the discourse of foreign investment. If the economic crisis continues, things may have changed," he said.
