BC Partners would like to launch their own media company as part of their plans to become shareholders at Inter, an Italian media report states today.

As per the Il Sole 24 Ore, the potential investors’ project for Inter would involve the establishment of a media company that would allow Inter to increase turnover thanks to TV rights, the internet, merchandising and more.

Nikos Stathopoulos, the co-head of the international investment fund, is leading the deal for BC Partners to acquire a stake in Inter.

BC Partners have been strongly linked with investing into Inter with some reports stating they would even be open to acquiring a majority stake in the Nerazzurri side, although this will ultimately depend on Suning’s intentions.

The report from Il Sole 24 Ore also touches upon Inter’s €375 million bond and explains that high yield investors are considering a deal.

Although the process of refinancing the bond, due to expire next year, has not begun, there are positive expectations, despite the fact that fans cannot be in the stands at the moment due to Covid-19.

The bond was issued through a facility, Spv, which benefits from the intellectual property of the Inter brand and from the cash which continues to come in from sponsors, TV rights and various media sources.

The high yield in a period of low interest rates is understood to be attractive to the investors.
