Suning cannot currently afford to inject any money into the club apart from the Oaktree Capital Group loan, according to a report in the Italian print media today.

As has been reported by Tuttosport, the Chinese ownership are in serious financial issues and that will affect what they can invest in Inter.

Their revenues have dropped 60% in recent years but they are expected to improve in the second half of 2022.

That being said, the only money that can be used to help improve Inter will come from the Oaktree loan which they need to pay back in full by June 2024.

It is clear that they need outside investment or to sell the club as a whole but they are committed to winning another Scudetto as owners.

There is also a fear that creditor banks will retaliate if they sell the club, and they want to get more progress with the new stadium before selling.
