A potential revival of the European Super League could be behind President Steven Zhang’s determination not to sell Inter, according to Italian journalist Marco Barzaghi.
Speaking on his YouTube channel, and as reported by FCInter1908.it, the Sport Mediaset journalist revealed that there were updates surrounding the failed breakaway competition, that was widely rejected upon it’s attempted launch last year.
Inter were joined by AC Milan and Juventus in Serie A, as well as Premier League clubs Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur, as well as Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, and Real Madrid in looking to form a new competition with significant revenue potential.
With mounting financial concerns, it had been reported that owners Suning were looking to sell Inter, but Zhang dismissed this at the club’s shareholders’ meeting this week, and Barzaghi suggested that a potential ruling to reignite the Super League could see him seek to remain.
“From very important sources, also at a legal level, we have been told and confirmed that the European Supreme Court of Justice will give a favourable opinion to the Super League,” Barzaghi declared.
“It is a first opinion that will have to be confirmed by the final sentence, which will arrive in 2023. But the opinion is that it will be positive for the Super League.
“This is the explanation why Steven Zhang said those words at the shareholders’ meeting and why, according to our interpretation, he is taking time to decide on a sale.
“Such a scenario and, together with a new stadium, it can change everything,” Barzaghi revealed.
