Inter’s owners Suning are unlikely to accept their offer from BC Partners to buy the club, according to an Italian newspaper report today.

As per Il Giorno’s print edition, this could be a crucial week as far as the Nerazzurri’s corporate future is concerned, with BC Partners submitting an offer for a majority stake last week, reportedly worth €750 million.

Suning will study the proposal at their next board meeting, but it seems likely that they will decline it and begin listening to other interested groups instead.

EQT, Mubadala, Fortress and Ares have all been linked with potentially investing into Inter.

All interested parties will have to conduct due diligence of Inter’s accounts before making an offer, a process that could take weeks if not months to complete.

There is limited time available, though, with the report highlighting that by March 31, Inter will have to have paid all their outstanding salaries as well as transfer instalments due to other clubs.
