AC Milan president Silvio Berlusconi has refused to commit to selling the club.
Berlusconi insists he could still press on alone next season.
"At this moment I don't know how the situation could develop," confessed Berlusconi. "It is also opportune for me to point something out. I have no desire, intention or need to sell Milan.
"Aside from our rapport created at the time on the political scene, Xi is proving he has great respect for Italian football and for Milan.
"Obviously I am proud of the rapport I created with Xi (Jinping) and it's no mystery that in China the Milan brand is still a big draw.
"If Milan do not find buyers, it's up to me to try and relaunch the club. If we do count on new investors who request the confirmation of my role, then I will contribute with those who arrive to take Milan back to the positions it deserves."
