Inter President Steven Zhang is set to meet with coach Antonio Conte to provide clarity on the future direction of the club.
As reported in today’s newspaper edition of Corriere della Sera, the Suning leader is hoping to finally secure investment through one of the interested American funds this week, after lengthy negotiations.
It would see Suning supported with a €250 million loan from Oaktree Capital or Bain Capital and put Zhang in a position to be able to provide more detailed plans for Inter’s next steps.
CEO Beppe Marotta revealed in an interview with Italian television broadcaster Sky Sport Italia ahead of Inter’s 3-2 defeat to Juventus yesterday that Conte would be granted a meeting with Zhang, and secured investment will expedite this.
Conte is seeking clarity on whether his squad will be disassembled in order to cut costs after winning the Scudetto, as well as Suning’s long-term ambitions for the club, and could meet Zhang by the end of the week.
