BC Partners had made a £596 bid to take over at the club, but Suning rejected the proposal as they valued the club at £851.9m
However, the issue regarding Lion Rock’s minority 31.05% stake remains.
Il Corriere dello Sport reports Suning will keep Inter running until the end of the season thanks to Goldman Sachs’ £213m loan, but the Zhang family needs to solve the long-term problem.
As per La Gazzetta dello Sport and Il Corriere della Sera, Suning are in talks with American funds that could acquire Lion Rock’s stakes with a £213m bid. But, that’s not the only option.
Milano Finanza reports Inter’s owners are also considering taking a new bond worth £213m, which would be used in part to refinance the previous bond worth £319m that expires in 2022.
By doing so, the Zhang family could take 100% control of the club and sit down with potential buyers themselves, thus retaining the profits if they were to sell the club.
