Negotiations between Suning and BC Partners over the potential sale of Inter are continuing ‘unabated’, according to an Italian newspaper report today.

As per Corriere dello Sport, the talks are going on like this firstly because BC Partners are the only interested party to have made an offer, and secondly because anything with other interested parties is only at an embryonic stage.

Therefore, if the sale of Inter is to be completed by the end of next month, by which time Inter must meet many financial deadlines, it would not be surprising if it were BC Partners who were the new owners.

The report from the Rome-based publication does however go on to add that Inter president Steven Zhang would like to win the Scudetto before handing over the reigns of the Nerazzurri club, who have been owned by Suning for four and a half years.

Inter still need to raise €200 million in emergency funds to help them cover costs and as per rumours to have emerged from London financial circles, a bailout plan, without selling the majority, is being finalised.

It is unclear whether this is a move to get BC Partners to up their offer, or if it is to push them away, but in a few days’ time things will be clearer.
