Steven Zhang has no intention of leaving Inter anytime soon, at least according to a report in the Italian media today.
As per Corriere della Sera’s print edition, Suning reiterated their financial commitment to the Nerazzurri during yesterday’s board meeting, despite Inter’s well-known economic struggles.
Suning are in talks with various funds for a loan deal worth €250 million – although reports elsewhere today claim they have already found one – but they could instead end up selling shares in the club to a group of American investors.
In any case, Zhang does not wish to lose control at Inter and wants Suning to remain in charge until at least the end of next season.
The group of American investors would be interested in investing up to €250 million at Inter, perhaps buying out LionRock Capital’s 31.05% stake in the club.
Fortress are now slightly further behind in terms of providing Inter the investment they need.
