Maryam Behmard on AC Milan's Chinese Takeover

Berlusconi sells AC Milan for €740m to a Chinese consortium - the boldest move yet in football's eastward shift.

In this segment

  • Sino-Europe Sports, led by Yonghong Li, pledges a further €350m over three years.
  • A club in decline: seventh place, no Serie A title since 2011, three years out of Europe.
  • Part of a wave: Suning's 70% Inter stake and Chinese ownership across English clubs.
