Inter could be bought from Suning by a consortium of owners similar to the one that purchased Chelsea earlier this year.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, who report that a consortium of buyers could be assembled to spread the risk involved in purchasing the Nerazzurri around rather than a single purchaser taking over.
While Suning have reportedly started officially looking for buyers for Inter, finding a buyer ready to agree on a deal that meets the current owners’ €1.2 billion asking price will not be straightforward.
However, one real possibility would be that instead of a single buyer committing to purchase Inter, US-based investment bank Raine Group could coordinate a consortium.
This is exactly what Raine did in the case of the sale of Chelsea from previous owner Roman Abramovich earlier this year.
The Premier League giants were purchased by a large consortium led by US businessman Todd Boehly.
Raine could look to facilitate a similar sort of deal in order to make a sale of the Nerazzurri feasible.
