Daniel Kar Keung Tseung has already been to Milan, Corriere dello Sport reported on Saturday.

“Both before Christmas and at the beginning of 2019, and most recently just a few days ago when, accompanied by his trusted men, the man in charge of LionRock Capital appeared in Corso Vittorio Emanuele and at San Siro.”

On his most recent trip there was the utmost secrecy: we only know his chosen base was a well-known hotel in the centre of the city and that there is little left to do before an announcement is made.

The closing of the negotiation to take over the 31.05% of shares currently held by Thohir is imminent, and there may even be confirmation by the end of the month.

In any case it will come no later than mid-February. This is because both the negotiations with the Indonesian and those to with the Nerazzurri are at a very advanced stage.

When the agreement is reached, a board of directors will be established, which will call a shareholders’ meeting within no earlier than 15 days, for the entry of LionRock Capital to define how many advisers the new partner will have.
