The newspaper notes this poses “another problem” for the Chinese conglomerate, which also has “no intention” of splashing the cash in January.
Suning’s investment in the Nerazzurri has slowed down in recent times, and a €300m bond offering was recently issued to raise capital.
Consequently, the club would need to sell before they can buy next month, with Suning’s spending power being curbed by Chinese market restrictions.
Thohir took over Inter in October 2013 but sold 70% of their shares to Suning for €270m last year, although he is still officially the Beneamata’s chairman.
