中國資本進軍意大利足壇 欲收購米蘭雙雄!

Two of Italy's top soccer clubs, Inter Milan and its rival AC Milan, said they have been approached by Chinese groups either seeking a stake or offering strategic partnerships.

近日，意大利兩大豪門足球俱樂部--國際米蘭和其同城死敵AC米蘭均表示，已與中國財團進行過接觸，它們或尋求入股，或想達成戰略合作伙伴關係。

In what could indicate the latest potential Chinese foray into European soccer, a 12-person delegation from Suning Commerce Group, one of China's largest privately owned retailers, visited Inter Milan last Friday and Saturday. Club chief spokesperson Robert Faulkner said the visiting delegation was headed by chairman of Nanjing-based Suning, Zhang Jindong.

中國最大私營零售商之一蘇寧雲商集團的12人代表團上週五和週六參觀了國米，這或許表明了潛在中國買家涉足歐洲足壇的最新動向。俱樂部媒體總監福克納·羅伯特表示，該代表團是以總部位於南京的蘇寧董事長張近東帶領的。

AC Milan, meanwhile, said it had received several expressions of interest in acquiring a stake from some Chinese groups. Former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi is chairman of the club and his company Fininvest is the holding company for AC Milan.

同時，AC米蘭表示，已有幾家中國財團對收購俱樂部股份表示出興趣。意大利前總理西爾維奧·貝盧斯科尼是這傢俱樂部的現任主席，他的公司菲寧維斯特集團目前是AC米蘭的持股公司。

Italy's La Repubblica newspaper reported that Alibaba founder Jack Ma is heading up a group which is aiming to buy an initial 70 percent stake in AC Milan, with the option of acquiring the remaining 30 percent over the coming year. The Chinese billionaire and his associates are prepared to pay 400 million euros ($450 million) for the 70 percent stake, the newspaper said.

據意大利媒體《共和報》報道稱，阿里巴巴的創始人馬雲帶領團隊前往米蘭城，目標是先收購AC米蘭70%的股份，隨後1年內再收購剩下30%股份。據該報紙報道，這位中國的億萬富翁和他的同事們準備爲這70%的股份開價4億歐元（摺合4億5000萬美元）。

Analysts said the recent moves on Milan clubs fit a broader effort by Chinese interests to invest in European soccer.

分析人士稱，中國資本最近對米蘭雙雄做出的舉動符合國人因對投資歐洲足壇的興趣而進行的更廣泛努力。
