16 Jun TMJ approached to buy stake in AC Milan

Johor Crown Prince (TMJ) Tunku Ismail Sultan Ibrahim is said to have been approached by the Italian Seria A club, AC Milan, to become the club’s shareholder.

According to Italian media reports, AC Milan president Yonghong Li had approached a Malaysian Malay to buy a stake in the club.

However, there was no official confirmation if the person of ‘Malay origin’ quoted by Italian media is Tunku Ismail who is also Johor Darul Ta’zim’s (JDT) owner.

“The prince is looking for Milan. The search continues for the name of the partner to support Li Yonghong in the management of the Via Aldo Rossi company, starting from a minority partner, in the future, perhaps, the club’s president,” the PremiumSportHD reported Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Italy’s football news site, www.calciomercato.com stated that Milan was set to be taken over by investors from American multinational company Goldman Sachs.. – Bernama
