Inter owners Suning may not be able to finance the Nerazzurri for too much longer into the future, whilst interest in purchasing the club grows.
This is the view in today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, who raise doubts regarding the current owners’ long-term suitability for Inter on a financial level.
Inter President Steven Zhang is expected to address the Nerazzurri’s annual shareholders meeting in a few days, where he will speak about the club’s financial plans.
On the one hand there have been significant losses reported for another fiscal year, but on the other hand they have been reduced, and at least in the short term, the owners have shown that they can cover them.
Moreover, Zhang could be able point to qualification for the Champions League knockout rounds for a second season running if the Nerazzurri beat Viktoria Plzen tomorrow.
Success in Europe would be important for Inter on not only a competitive level, but also a financial one.
However, it is still hardly enough to finance the Nerazzurri if they are to have any ambition, and this is a doubt that could be raised in the shareholder meeting.
Given that the interest in buying Inter in the US is growing in particular, there will be more questions than ever for Zhang from the shareholders amid a lot of media speculation.
