According to a report from Corriere dello Sport, Jack Ma, the richest men in China, is ready to buy Erick Thohir’s stake in Inter.
Thohir has a 31.05% share in the Nerazzurri and the shares are understood to be valued at €150 million.
Ma, the founder and owner of the Alibaba Group, will invest in the club through a Hong Kong based fund known as Yunfeng Capital.
The alliance between Inter’s majority stakeholders Suning and Ma would be of great benefit to Inter and it would represent a definitive turning point for the club, as per the Rome based newspaper.
Relations between Suning and Ma are already strong with Ma having a 20% stake in Suning while Suning owner Jindong Zhang has a small stake in Alibaba.
There is absolutely huge potential for development particularly in terms of turnover for Inter given Ma’s status as China’s richest man with a worth of $34.6 billion.
