Despite being unable to reach an agreement with Inter owners Suning over a buyout of the club, London-based equity fund BC Partners have not closed the door entirely on a takeover.
After being granted a period of exclusivity in January, BC Partners had hoped to purchase a majority stake in the Nerazzurri but have thus far not found a deal.
As reported in today’s newspaper edition of Tuttosport, BC Partners’ €800 million offer for the club has fallen short of Suning’s valuation and the British fund will take a step back.
However, whilst Suning continue to negotiate with Fortress over the sale of a minority stake in the club, BC Partners have not ruled themselves out of the running entirely and will take a more longer term approach.
Indeed, BC Partners are waiting to see how Suning react over the coming weeks, with the hope that their hand will be strengthened if Suning fail to reach an agreement elsewhere.
