Despite suggesting that he had no intention of selling the club, Inter President Steven Zhang has added provisions in the latest financial reports to cover such an occurrence.
As reported in today’s newspaper edition of Corriere dello Sport, the Suning man had argued that there was no reason to offload the Nerazzurri, despite financial concerns surrounding the operating of the club.
Indeed, it is noted that in the financial reports published this week, a provision is made that hints of a potential sale over the coming year, or at least that Suning are taking it into consideration.
“The reference shareholder (Suning) has already expressed its formal commitment to financially support the Group for at least the next 12 months from the date of approval of these financial statements or, if a change of control of the Parent Company, until the date in which control of the same will be maintained,” the statement reads.
The newspaper claims that Zhang has taken steps to cover Suning over the coming year, and whilst they intend to maintain overall control of Inter, the possibility of the club changing hands has been accounted for.
Suning have been the majority stakeholders in Inter since 2016, and the Nerazzurri lifted the 2021 Serie A title under their ownership.
