President Silvio Berlusconi may add a clause in his deal for the sale of Milan that may let him retain control of the club's transfers.

The Italian tycoon is expected to sell the majority of the club's shares to Chinese investor Robin Li in a deal that would pour €400m into the club's indebted accounts.

According to CalcioNews24, there are rumours that Berlusconi is looking to add an unusual clause in the contract.

According to CalcioNews24, there are rumours that Berlusconi is looking to add an unusual clause in the contract.

He is apparently asking to be nominated not just as the club's honorary president, but also as technical consultant, which would leave him with a measure of control on the club's transfers and formation.

Even if confirmed, it seems unlikely that such a clause would be accepted by the Chinese, whose ideas on how to build a new Milan are substantially different from Berlusconi's. In particular, they are not interested in building an 'Italian Milan' and would more readily look to foreigners to constitute the team's core.
