Silvio Berlusconi is confident AC Milan will be in safe hands after doing plenty of research on their potential Chinese investors.
The former Italian prime minister is set to relinquish control at San Siro for the first time since 1986 after acknowledging he needs financial support to help restore the Serie A giants back among Europe's elite.
"We have found out the names of those people who were responsible for dealing with us and we have collected good information on these people," he told Teleregione Molise.
"I hope we can get them to sign a commitment that would last for several years.
"I think it’s the right time to go out and hand over the reins to the right people."
He added: "I'd focus on a team of young Italian players, such as [Gianluigi] Donnarumma. We must ask the fans to be patient, especially those who can't remember what Milan have done in the last 30 years."
