MILAN (Reuters) - The Chinese consortium seeking to buy Italian soccer club AC Milan is expected to pay an agreed second 100 million-euro (83.69 million pound) deposit by Tuesday, a day later than originally scheduled, two sources close to the matter said on Monday.

Last week the Chinese investors and the holding company of former Italian prime minister Silvio Berlusconi, which owns AC Milan, agreed to postpone the closing of the deal to March 3, but the consortium was asked to pay the second deposit on top of another 100 million euros it had already committed.
