The consortium formed by Fortress and Mubadala could represent the ideal solution for Suning as they look to solve Inter’s liquidity problems, an Italian media report has argued today.
As per Tuttosport’s print edition, Fortress are an investment group who specialise in the management of non-performing loans and complex debt situations.
This is something that particularly impacts Inter at the moment, seeing as Chinese government restrictions are blocking the exporting of capital outside the country and the Nerazzurri have a €375 million bond to repay by next year.
As for Abu Dhabi state investor Mubadala, the Turin-based publication explain that they could take care of investing into Inter and would not be opposed to entering the club on a minority basis, as evidenced by them joining Ferrari with a minority stake in 2015.
This formula could be ideal for Suning, the report argues, because it would enable them to continue to control Inter, while also solving the club’s increasingly serious cashflow issues.
EQT, Ares, Arctos and BC Partners are all also interest in investing into Inter and a formal offer from BC Partners will be made this week.
