London-based equity fund BC Partners are ready to continue negotiations with Suning over a takeover of Inter but are also looking for partners to invest in the club.
Amidst mounting concerns over the state of the club’s finances during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, Suning are in discussions to sell and BC Partners were granted exclusivity to access Inter’s financial accounts earlier this month.
According to Sole 24 Ore, the British fund have begun contacting potential investors with a view to building a consortium to own and manage the club, bringing in Tifosy as a consultant to search for partners.
As BC Partners continue their period of due diligence in assessing Inter, Suning remain in negotiations over a suitable price for the club.
The Chinese retailer values the Nerazzurri at €400-450 million without taking the club’s debts into account, although this figure could rise significantly once the outstanding fees are included.
Tifosy have some experience in Italian football, having worked as consultants when Massimo Ferrero looked to sell Sampdoria in 2019, although it ultimately came to nothing.
