Inter will definitely be sold to overseas owners if Suning leave the club, according to a report in the Italian media.
Calcio e Finanza have reported that there is no interest from Italian companies in taking over the Nerazzurri.
As per a source of theirs, a leading international investment bank tried to test the waters recently but received no expressions of interest from anyone in Italy.
Inter have been linked with British-based BC Partners, US group Fortress and Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund during this week alone.
The same source also claimed that if BC Partners were to take over, and they remain the strongest candidate to buy Inter, there would be a strong reorganisation of Inter’s accounts.
The reason for this is because it would be difficult for the fund’s global board to endorse such a transaction if they are unsure on the potential returns on their investment, given the club’s recent fall in revenues.
One of the first things that BC Partners would look to do is cut costs at Inter, who are suffering from a lack of liquidity at this moment in time due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Chinese government restrictions.
This could perhaps entail player sales or cutting those figures in the sporting department who are earning high wages.
