Inter owners Suning have been looking for an exit strategy to sell the Nerazzurri for two years and have reiterated to US-based investment bank Goldman Sachs that they are to search for a buyer.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, who report that the current Inter owners have been looking to sell the club for some time, albeit at a high valuation of €1.2 billion.
Suning had been in talks with UK-based investment firm BC Partners early in 2021, but the negotiations did not go anywhere as the British fund valued the Nerazzurri at €750 million including debt, whereas Suning valued it at the aforementioned €1.2 billion sum.
However, the owners’ will to sell the Nerazzurri has never really gone away, and they have a willingness to sell for the right price.
Suning recently held a scheduled meeting with Goldman Sachs, the purpose of which was to discuss the financial strategy in light of some unexpected wage costs related to the timing of the departures of players like Arturo Vidal, Alexis Sanchez, and likely Valentino Lazaro, as well as the strategy to fall within Financial Fair Play guidelines.
As part of this meeting, however, the owners reiterated to Godman Sachs their continued hope to find a buyer for the Nerazzurri, according to the Corriere.
