Massimo Moratti welcomes the choice of Suning as Inter's new owners: 'They are a serious group among the many candidates'.
The Nerazzurri were sold to the Chinese business giants in a historic move that introduces a new major player to the scene of European football.
“I think the presence of a solid, strong group like Suning is something important,” the former president told Il Corriere dello Sport, on the occasion of the wedding of Samuel Eto'o. “Their arrival in Italian football is good news because they are serious people, who do things properly.
“It was my pleasure to meet them in Milan, when they came to watch the game against Udinese, and they really gave me a great impression.
“Their projects are substantial and they want to bring Inter back to winning. It's good news and I really hope they make it.”
Selling to Suning was President Erick Thohir's decision, after less than three years in charge.
“Thohir did well to bring them in, because of all the partners he could have selected, they're certainly one that offers guarantees under every point of view.
“I don't know what the power relationships between them are going to be, that's not my business. I sold my shares to Thohir and now it's between them.”
The discussion then turned to Coach Roberto Mancini and the transfer market.
“I don't think Mancini is in question, because he's a great Coach and he can do well. He already fixed a great deal of things over the last one-and-a-half years.
“Whether [Yaya] Toure comes to Inter is something you must ask Mancini and the others. The market depends very much on the Financial Fair Play limits that must be respected.
“But I believe Suning intend to build a competitive team capable of doing well. A group like theirs will certainly expect to see some results from Inter to justify their investment, and this is a guarantee for the fans.”
