The economic situation at Inter is certainly not easy, after the problems revealed by the Suning group, which owns the Nerazzurri club. Il Sole 24 Ore talks about an alternative route to the sale of the majority shareholding, making a similarity with what happened a few years ago on the Rossoneri side of the Naviglio. Suning, in fact, is discussing with financial groups and large investment funds to obtain a loan of 150-200 million euros, which would allow the Zhang family company to keep the majority of the club and meet deadlines at least from now to the end. 2021.
A solution that Yonghong Li also adopted to buy Milan from Silvio Berlusconi thanks to financing from the Elliott fund, which then took over the ownership of the Rossoneri club when the controversial Chinese businessman was unable to pay off the debt with the American hedge fund.
In recent months, Suning had explored the path of financing with Italian banks, but given the already existing debt (about 400 million), the hypothesis was over. One of the entities that Inter are working with for funding is Fortress, a US fund that has already attempted similar transactions with some clubs in the French league. If this path does not materialize, the sale of the majority remains standing, with BC Partners waiting for a response like other funds such as Mubadala and EQT, writes MilanPress.it
