Inter owners Suning have turned their focus to the US as they look to bring investment into the club and secure their financial position.
The Chinese retail conglomerate are under mounting pressure to find an investor as they battle debts and financial concerns, with previous discussions with potential partners coming to nothing.
According to Calcioefinanza.it., Suning had been in talks since January but saw a deal with BC Partners for an overall buyout of the club fail to progress after the two parties could not agree on a valuation, whilst an approach from Saudi fund PIF never went beyond initial discussions.
This has prompted them to turn their attention to the US and push for the sale of a 31% stake in the club owned by Hong Kong-based LionRock, with close ties to Suning.
Meanwhile, Calcioefinanza.it suggest that rather a single investor, the 31% sale would be split across multiple interested American investors, allowing Suning to retain a majority stake and overall control of Inter.
