Inter owners Suning are continuing to search for new investment in the club and could be ready to authorise a soft sale, before a complete departure in the summer.
The Chinese retail conglomerate are looking to offload the Nerazzurri amidst mounting financial concerns, with London-based equity fund BC Partners leading the race to purchase the club.
As reported in today’s newspaper edition of Corriere dello Sport, financial regulations imposed by European governing body UEFA mean that the situation at Inter should become clearer by the end of March, as clubs are not permitted to have outstanding debts at this point.
Suning will look to either sell the club immediately or bring in up to €200 million of investment, potentially through a soft sale to BC Partners in which they would cover operating costs for the next few months.
Should this arise, BC Partners would then be in a position to complete an overall takeover of Inter in May or June.
