The Nerazzurri have invested heavily in the squad this summer, bringing in the likes of Ivan Perisic, Stevan Jovetic, Geoffrey Kondogbia and Adem Ljajic.
Two wins from their first two Serie A games have given cause for optimism, and the patron believes a title challenge is possible.
“This is the quality side we've been wanting to put together, with Massimo Moratti too, so that Inter can compete in Serie A and return to the Champions League,” Thohir explained, speaking to Bola.
“[Coach] Roberto Mancini has our full backing. But we also need the fans' support throughout this season, when games are going well but also when that's not the case.
“Now the team has a number of different options and they're all quality players. We've decided to back some of the players who were already at the club, while other new players have come in during the transfer window to strengthen the squad.
“Our aims for the season are as follows: we're a Champions League club so we want to get back into the competition.
“But Mancini said it himself. We're Inter and we have to aim for the top, so why not strive for the Scudetto?
“It won't be easy of course, Juventus have been dominating Italian football for years, but we’re working towards that and always try to do our best”
