Inter’s overseas players are thought to be ‘anything but convinced’ about taking wage cuts, according to a report in the Italian media today.
Corriere dello Sport’s print edition said the Nerazzurri’s non-Italians – particularly those who have interest from other clubs – were likely to reject the proposal to give up two monthly installments of their salaries.
Inter are battling serious economic problems and there are many at Appiano Gentile, the report claimed, who cannot understand why Suning didn’t sell the club when they had the chance.
BC Partners made an offer that was very reasonable, albeit below Suning’s asking price for Inter, but Steven Zhang decided to reject it, perhaps because the European Super League was taking shape.
Antonio Conte’s future remains as uncertain as ever after Inter’s boss refused to speak with the media before or after last night’s 3-1 win against Roma.
Inter’s chief executive Beppe Marotta ‘tried to reassure everyone’ by giving an interview pre-game, but it remains unclear whether players will agree to help Suning by cutting or deferring wage payments.
