Inter appear to have resolved all their financial problems until the summer, according to a report in the Italian media today.
Corriere dello Sport’s print edition confirmed Suning were in advanced talks with Bain Capital over a loan deal worth €270 million.
Bain Capital would use €167 million to buy out LionRock Capital’s 31% stake in the club, leaving Suning with €100 million to cover Inter’s costs through to the end of the season.
Oaktree and Fortress remain in contention to agree a deal with Inter, but Bain Capital are thought to be very much in pole position at the moment.
Inter would get the money they need through an injection of capital from Great Horizon, the Luxembourg-based company which will receive the loan and through which Suning control Inter.
Suning are continuing the search for a new partner at Inter, the Rome-based paper added, in a bid to ease the club’s liquidity problems moving forward.
The partner would initially become a minority shareholder but could end up taking over from Suning as Inter’s owners in the long run.
