The Evergrande Group are the frontrunners to become Inter’s next main shirt sponsor according to a report from Italian broadcaster Sport Mediaset, which was broadcast a short time ago.

Inter’s owners Suning have big plans for the future of Inter and those plans include finding a new main shirt sponsor to replace long term sponsor Pirelli.

Suning find the €11 million a year that Pirelli give the club to be too low, especially considering Juventus got €45 million last year from main shirt sponsors Jeep.

It is for this reason that Inter president Steven Zhang is hard at work trying to find a new main shirt sponsor to succeed Pirelli on the front of Inter’s shirts starting from next season.

Evergrande are in pole position to take over from Pirelli and the report from the broadcaster goes on to conclude that Zhang is hopeful of doing a deal which will be worth at least €30 million a year for the club.
