Silvio Berlusconi has hinted that if negotiations for a takeover of Milan fail, the Rossoneri will embark on a project of Italianisation as a Plan B.
Club owner Berlusconi is currently negotiating with Thai and Chinese investors over the sale of the San Siro giants, but suggests that there is an alternative plan should discussions fail.
“If these negotiations do not have the desired result we will go ahead with another project, that of an all-Italian Milan,” Berlusconi is quoted as having said to Primocanale.
The Corriere dello Sport has outlined the steps that would be taken by the club should Berlusconi remain in charge and seek to create an all-Italian club.
The paper believes that the sales of Diego Lopez, Keisuke Honda and Jeremy Menez would bring in the necessary funds to begin the construction of a new squad.
The sale of these three players is believed to be worth around €20m and Monaco have expressed an interest in signing Menez.
A few exceptions could be allowed, such as goalkeeper Gabriel who has been on loan at newly promoted Carpi this season.
Should the Plan B be implemented, it is also possible that Coach Pippo Inzaghi could remain on the Rossoneri bench for another season.
