At one time it looked as if a 65 per cent or 70 per cent stake would be taken by Thai businessman Bee Taechaubo, but Berlusconi seems to be cooling on the whole idea of outside investors.   He rescued the club from bankruptcy in 1986.

The club claims to have 350 million followers across the world.  However, in many ways, the club are not what they used to be.   Any new investor would face a series of key challenges.
