Inter President Steven Zhang is targeting a return to Milan next month in order to oversee the club’s challenge for the Scudetto, and hopes to have secured investment by then.
Zhang, and his family’s company Suning, has been in negotiations over the sale of either a majority or minority stake in the club since the turn of they year in an effort to manage mounting financial insecurity.
As reported in today’s newspaper edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, American investment group Fortress currently lead the way and are looking to close in on a deal in the region of €250 million for a minority stake to support the club until the end of the season.
Meanwhile, Saudi Arabian sovereign fund PIF continue to monitor the situation and are not out of the running yet, but regardless of which party it is, Zhang is optimistic that a deal will be struck shortly.
The 29-year-old is aiming to return to Italy from China in mid-April with a view to being at the helm to oversee Inter’s first Scudetto since 2010, with Antonio Conte’s side currently six points clear with a game in hand.
