Inter’s owners Suning are exploring two different paths to solve the Nerazzurri’s financial problems, according to an Italian media report today.

As per Corriere della Sera’s print edition, Suning are speaking with BC Partners over potentially selling the club, but the parties remain distant in their valuations.

The British-based private equity fund are hoping to spend around €750 million on Inter whereas the Nerazzurri’s majority shareholders want €1 billion.

To get round the impasse, BC Partners could guarantee an additional payment to Suning following the ownership change which would be linked to the growth of the club.

The Milan-based paper then explained the other solution Suning are studying, which involves securing a loan while remaining Inter’s owners.

For this reason, they are also in talks with American fund Bain Capital, who could refinance the club’s debts which total no less than €400 million.

A loan of €200 million, CdS reported, would help Inter through to the end of the season and allow them to meet their various impending financial deadlines.
