Inter owners Suning are looking to sell up no more than 40% of their stake in the Nerazzurri valued at around €500 million, according to a report from an international news agency.
Reuters confirmed the Chinese retail giants are in talks with private equity fund BC Partners, who have been strongly linked with buying into the club this week as per multiple reports in the Italian media.
A source in their report said BC Partners would be more of a financial investor while Suning, who want to be able to re-purchase their shares in the future, would continue managing the club.
Suning have owned a majority stake in Inter, which equates to 68.5% of shares, since the summer of 2016, which they bought for €270 million from Indonesian tycoon Erick Thohir.
BC Partners are said to be open to buying a minority or majority stake in Inter and their due diligence of the club’s accounts is still underway.
Another source has told Reuters that BC Partners would even be interested in a complete takeover of the Milanese club.
Both Suning and BC Partners declined Reuters request for comment on the current situation.
