Silvio Berlusconi’s Fininvest company are prepared to delay the closing further, but only if they receive another non-refundable €100m deposit by this week.
It was meant to have already arrived, but multiple reports this evening suggest only €20m were paid in today.
It’s suggested Sino-Europe Sports chief Yonghong Li has approached two different banks to get the necessary funds, so only the first €20m have come through so far.
Berlusconi is said to be unimpressed and wants the full €100m deposit by Friday or he may well pull the plug on the entire takeover.
SES have already paid €100m and are due to hand over another €360m to complete the takeover by April 7.
