Inter President Steven Zhang is due to travel to Milan to oversee the change of the club’s badge, but could also bring positive news regarding the Nerazzurri’s financial woes.
The Biscione are due to undergo an overhaul of badge and name on Tuesday and, as reported in today’s newspaper edition of Il Giorno, Zhang has hastened plans to return to Italy from China.
Having initially intended to travel to Europe in mid-April, the 29-year-old is now looking to be present for the official unveiling of the new logo this week.
Meanwhile, Zhang and company Suning are edging closer to resolving the long-standing financial woes at the club, as they battle mounting debts.
Inter have deferred wages for November and December until this month, with only administrative and marketing staff receiving full payments on time.
Whilst the playing and coaching staff were expecting payments over the past week, there remains confidence that the situation will be resolved and it has not affected the team. They are also reassured that the Nerazzurri will look to avoid UEFA sanctions by not having outstanding wages of more than 15%.
Suning have been in negotiations with US investment firm Fortress to obtain a short-term loan to ease the financial burden, whilst Saudi sovereign fund PIF are also in discussions.
Zhang’s early arrival is expected to bring updates on any investment in Inter, with a hope that the club will be able to resolve their financial worries.
