With thanks to Suning’s hard work, Inter are now closer to arch rivals Juventus both on and off the pitch a report from Gazzetta dello Sport details.

Since assuming control of the club in the summer of 2016, Suning have invested some €530 million in to the Nerazzurri through their initial capital increase, loans and sponsorship deals (the ones for the training centre and training kit).

Year-on-year losses have been greatly reduced and sat at just €24.6 million at the last budget while Inter’s turnover has grown exponentially from €179 million after year one to €274 million in year two and it is expected to well exceed the €300 million mark in the next budget the report goes on to state.

Juventus are valued at some €495 million, good enough to place them as 11th most valuable team in the world while Inter find themselves in 13th overall with a value of €389 million. Suning could take the next step with Inter once out of the rigid financial fair play system and buying president Erick Thohir completely out of the club, giving them complete control.
