BC Partners are described as being in pole position to come in and be new investors at Inter, according to an Italian media report this evening.
FCInterNews.it report that BC Partners have a real and concrete interest in investing into the Nerazzurri and the acquisition of a majority stake in the club cannot be excluded.
Nicholas Stathopoulos, the chairman of BC Partners, has already been in contact with Inter president Steven Zhang and the fact Stathopoulos is handling things certifies the seriousness of BC Partners, who are a British based international investment fund.
Talks are currently only in the embryonic phase for the time being as all parties seek to understand the wishes of the others.
BC Partners specialise in Technology, media and telecommunications, and also operate in retail and they are not just interested in Inter as a football team or the quality of the players but in the investment and earning possibilities that can come from a top club like Inter.
In practice, BC Partners are willing to invest in Inter in the medium term but only on the basis of future talks and other factors will they be able to submit an offer to become minority or majority shareholders in the Milanese club.
BC Partners would like to have decision-making power at Inter as well as control in the area of the business that they specialise in.
The report concludes that the matter is expected to evolve in the coming weeks.
