Inter’s financial talks with Oaktree are taking longer than expected for one reason, a report in the Italian media revealed today.
As per Corriere dello Sport’s print edition, the Nerazzurri still haven’t managed to secure the loan deal they need from either Oaktree or Bain Capital, despite weeks of negotiations.
Talks with Oaktree are being dragged out because the US-based investment firm want to do more than provide just a loan, the report explained.
After the loan is sorted, they are hoping to eventually replace Suning as Inter’s new owners after a series of intermediary steps.
Inter need an injection of money before the end of May to help them pay their player salaries and other outstanding payments, the Rome-based paper added.
The Nerazzurri’s chief executive Beppe Marotta assured last night that the club would honour all their payment obligations, but to do that they need Suning to find a loan deal soon.
