The report claims that Zhang is currently overwhelmed by a busy agenda related to his family business.
La Gazzetta leaves the door open for a possible last-minute blitz from China to Milano. However, the source insists that no plans were yesterday made for such journey.
Moreover, Zhang could also miss Inter’s first Champions League match of the season. The Nerazzurri will take on Real Sociedad at the San Sebastian Stadium.
