“We are moving forward like this and we hope that these problems will be resolved to give more peace to the whole environment,” he said on the Sky channel before the start of the Nerazzurri match against Fiorentina, opening of the 21st day of Serie A.
“We hope for a quick conclusion but these are problems that are beyond us, which concern our shareholders who are responsible people and will make wise choices”, added the manager, after referring to a “delicate moment”.
For several weeks, the Suning group, the main shareholder of Romelu Lukaku’s club, has been looking for investors to replenish the funds of Inter.
According to several Italian media, an outright sale of the Nerazzurro club is not excluded.
According to the Financial Times, the club would initially need 200 million euros urgently to ensure operations until next season.
The Milan club notably held in-depth discussions with a British investment fund, BC Partners, but could not find an agreement on the club’s overall value, according to the FT, with Suning valuing Inter Milan at more than EUR 900m and the fund at EUR 750 million. Discussions would also take place with other potential investors, ranging from an “outright acquisition of the club” to a minority stake, according to the survey.
Inter Milan denied early January rumors of a possible sale.
The club recorded a loss of more than 100 million euros last season, in particular due to the economic consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic.
This season, his budget will suffer in addition to the early elimination of all European competitions.
