S.Berlusconi: Selling of Leaders Allowed to Save 130 million euros © EuroFootball.com

"Milan" president Silvio Berlusconi confirmed that last summer he had no choice but to sell the club's leaders Zlatan Ibrahimović and Thiago Silva.

"Of course, I am sorry for the Swede, but we had to do the math.

These decisions saved us 130 million euros and in such an economic situation, everyone would have done the same.

And true fans are revealed during difficult times. I hope they will continue to support the team, because after 26 years marked by spraying champagne, patience is now needed," Berlusconi said.
