Bee Taechaubol said he is investing in Milan because “it is the greatest club. I hope to reach a conclusion soon.”
The Thai businessman met with President Silvio Berlusconi today at the Park Hyatt Milano, then spoke to reporters crowded outside after the patron had driven away.
“I hope to be able to come to a conclusion soon. Everything has been very good and I am honoured by the President to have included me and allowed me to come in on this transaction and of course be a part of AC Milan.

“There are some things we have to work out and a lot of details we will work out.”
Berlusconi said just before this interview that there was “a possibility” he could keep 51 per cent of the club. Therefore is Taechaubol going to take a minority or majority stake?
“No comment on this. It’s just a lot of legal and financial preparations that have to be made for a transaction of this size, but there has been great support from the family and the fans. I thank everyone.”
It had been reported ‘Mr Bee’ planned to bring in Paolo Maldini as director of sport or even CEO.
“I have never spoken to anybody. In the past a lot of news has come out, but I have not made any decision or anything about the technical side of the football team.”
Will top management remain the same?
“AC Milan has come a long way. It is the greatest club and the greatest team. We will see. Everyone will decide together for the good of the club.
“Why AC Milan? It is the greatest team.”
