Milan legend Silvio Berlusconi is expected to announce the purchase of Lega Pro/Serie C side Monza on his 82nd birthday.

The man who took Milan to the top of world football and controlled the club for over 30 years sold up to Yonghong Li in April 2015.

He misses the sport, though, and is set for a new venture with the local side that had for decades acted as a feeder club to Milan: Monza.

The man who took Milan to the top of world football and controlled the club for over 30 years sold up to Yonghong Li in April 2015.

He misses the sport, though, and is set for a new venture with the local side that had for decades acted as a feeder club to Milan: Monza.

Berlusconi will reportedly complete the takeover on his 82nd birthday, September 29, with a ceremony marking the purchase of 70 per cent of the shares from current patrons the Colombo family.

He’ll again be accompanied in this venture by ex-Milan CEO Adriano Galliani, who had briefly quit football for a role in Berlusconi’s political party Forza Italia.
