Inter’s owners Suning cannot wait to sell the Nerazzurri, at least according a report in the Italian media today.
Despite Inter president Steven Zhang recently reiterating his commitment to the club, Libero’s print edition claims there is a very different story behind the scenes.
Suning cannot wait to get rid of Inter but they have no intention of making a loss, as evidenced by the fact they rejected BC Partners €750 million offer for the club, which Suning value at €1 billion.
The Nerazzurri’s owners are waiting to see if the British-based private equity fund will raise their offer, but it is said to be unlikely that this will happen.
The report went on to explain that there had been talks between Suning and Bain Capital for some time, regarding the refinancing of Inter’s existing debt as well as a loan.
Suning want €200 million to help cover costs until the end of the season, but there is a lot of scepticism regarding the possibility of this happening.
Inter are already €400 million in debt as it is, with the report arguing it would make little sense to add yet more debt on top of that in the form of a loan.
