Suning’s decision to sell up to 25% of their shares in the company will not affect the running of Inter, Italian media claim.
The Chinese retail conglomerate are facing increasing financial pressure as debts mount at the club, with player and staff wages from November and December deferred until May.
As reported in today’s newspaper edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, Suning are close to selling 20-25% of shares in the company to the Chinese state, whilst are considering liquidating sister club Jiangsu Suning if no buyer is found for them.
These developments are not expected to affect Inter though, with the commercial power of the Nerazzurri and elite level European football overall set to protect them.
The situations at Inter and Jiangsu are thought to be incomparable, with the Chinese club ready to be terminated in a bid to ease the financial burden, whilst Suning are ready to continue funding the Nerazzurri until a buyer is found.
