Inter president Steven Zhang is refusing to abandon the idea of remaining in charge at the Nerazzurri, an Italian media report has claimed today.

As per La Repubblica’s print edition, Zhang watched last night’s 2-1 win at Parma from home in China which took place in the early hours for him.

He is refusing to abandon the dream of staying in charge until the end of the season and continues to dream of winning the Serie A title.

In order for him to stay in charge, however, Inter’s owners Suning need to bring in €200 million in funds immediately.

Suning Holdings, the parent company of Inter, could benefit from Suning’s 23% sale of Suning.com for €1.9 billion or alternatively they could obtain a loan.

The alternative to this would be to sell the club to a fund perhaps BC Partners or the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and a sale of the club would make the Chinese government happy.

Zhang, who has been Inter’s president for a few years now, would however not be so happy, because he is looking forward to celebrating a title win, perhaps at San Siro, where he has not set foot for several months due to being in China.
