Milan, Berlusconi:"We don't expect delays with closing, I hope Galliani stays"

He finally came out to speak to the press very late, it was almost 3 am when Silvio Berlusconi left Bulgari after his Milan played in the derby. The rossoneri's owner talked about the expected sale of the club to the Chinese investors:"The closing is scheduled for December 13th, we believe there are no obstacles to obtain the authorizations from the Chinese state and the closing will take place on the date established. The Chinese are insisting with determination that I remain as president. I told them that to be president in a club owned by others shouldn't be considered, so they offered me an honorary presidency without naming another president. It could be a solution but I need to have opportunity to intervene on transfers and the team's formation. Had I not been able, or should I not be able to conclude deal with Chinese investors, I had in mind a project with an all Italian team, young players from our youth system and I'm certain our players would accept it. Galliani? I hope he stays, it's one of the conditions I put to accept the honorary presidency"
