Inter Milan owners Suning are reportedly negotiating a plan to refinance the Oaktree loan with two US-based groups.
In 2021, the club’s Chinese owners took a loan from Oaktree Group for operating costs. Suning must either repay or refinance the loan before the deadline on the 20th of May 2024.
So according to Il Sole 24 Ore via FcInterNews, Suning are currently in talks with two different American groups who can help them refinance the loan.
As the source tells it, the two groups are Sixth Street and Ares Management. This would allow Suning to maintain control over the club.
However, the interest rates that these two groups would offer in order to refinance the debts remain unknown at this stage.

Moreover, the source notes that the sale hypothesis hasn’t vanished just yet, even if Suning and club president Steven Zhang would like to remain at Inter’s helm.
The source reveals that Raine Group is still working as intermediaries, trying to find new investors.
The report claims that there are simultaneous negotiations at the moment with two separate suitors, one of which is based in the Persian Gulf.
The source mentions InvestCorp as one of the entities that tried to acquire Inter not so long ago.
However, sources close to the club claimed that the company never presented a concrete offer for the Nerazzurri’s current owners.
