Revealed: Yonghong Li takes out expensive new loan

AC Milan’s former owner Silvio Berlusconi said earlier this week that the San Siro side have major financial issues. Many decided to ignore his words, however, a document circulating on Twitter could prove Silvio right. 

Yesterday, a document involving Milan’s new owner, Yonghong Li, was spread on Twitter. The document suggests that the Chinese owner took yet another loan in August, this time €7m at a very high-interest rate set at 14%. The loan came from Jin Bao Bao Holdings in China. If this document is legit, then Yonghong Li’s total debts are around €300m. 

Such a small loan could indicate that Yonghong Li can’t afford to pay the expense. €7m should be an amount that any big club can pay straight away, however, this time that wasn’t the case.
