AC Milan sale 'anything but certain' - executive

MILAN (Reuters) - A sale of Italian Serie A soccer club AC Milan is far from being a done deal, the vice president of the club said on Tuesday. "It (the sale) is anything but certain," Adriano Galliani said during a shareholders meeting. According to a source, Thai businessman Bee Taechaubol has travelled to Italy for talks to buy a stake in the club which is owned by former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi. Berlusconi owns the club through his holding Fininvest which also controls TV broadcaster Mediaset. (Reporting by Elvira Pollina, writing by Stephen Jewkes; editing by Agnieszka Flak)
