It looks like AC Milan are about to be bought out, or at the very least, a large portion of the club will be acquired by a Thai businessman. Bee Taechaubol, who runs a number of companies through his investment vehicle Thai Prime, has met with the club’s controlling shareholder Silvio Berlusconi and wants to purchase a minimum 49% of the club, reports BBC Sport’s Richard Conway. “This is a sound investment, and I am looking forward to tremendous success on all fronts with AC Milan,” said Taechaubol in a statement. “Once we have concluded the deal, we will roll up our sleeves and get to work. The club is not where it should be: fighting for the Serie A title, and in the final stages of the Champions League.”
