US investment back Raine Group has found a Middle Eastern fund who are serious about buying Inter from the Zhang family, multiple reports detail.
Tuttosport and Corriere dello Sport underlined how an unnamed fund from the Middle East are ready to buy the Nerazzurri on the terms set by the current owners, who want over €1 billion for the club.
The Zhang family still have to repay the €275m loan to Oaktree by May 20, 2024, a figure that rises to almost €400 if the 12% interest is calculated, or refinance it at double interest rates.
Talks between the parties are progressing well and Raine are confident that a deal can be agreed in the coming weeks and months. A concrete offer is expected to arrive soon, allowing things to move forward.
Suning could still decide to keep Inter, possibly adding a new minority partner instead, allowing them to take advantage of the new Champions League format and upcoming Club World Cup changes.
