In the last few hours, the name of Vivek Ranadivé has been insistently approached by Inter. Tuttosport draws a detailed profile

In the last few hours, the name of Vivek Ranadivé has been insistently approached by Inter. The Indian businessman, currently majority shareholder of the Sacramento Kings, NBA franchise, would be interested in buying the majority stake of the Nerazzurri club. The valuation made by Suning, 1.2 billion, is still considered excessive, but Ranadivé seems willing to negotiate. Tuttosport draws a detailed profile:

“Successful businessman. Magnate who would have liked to have dinner with Leonardo da Vinci. Vivek Ranadivé, like the genius of the Renaissance, is today recognized by all for creativity and innovative ideas. Growing up in India, legend has it that he left his native country with only $ 50 in his pocket. Trained in Cambridge, after earning his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in electronic engineering from MIT, he completed his knowledge at Harvard. Ranadivé founds a consulting firm, UNIX, and subsequently manages two giants such as Teknekron and TIBCO, which powered most of the government agencies around the world. His talents and knowing how to understand when (and where) to intervene also earned him the nickname of «Mr. Real Time »”.

THE SPORT – “In 2010 he is co-owner of the Golden State Warriors in the NBA. In 2013 he sells his shares and invests over a billion euros to become the majority shareholder of the Sacramento Kings. In recent months there was talk of his (alleged) interest in the acquisition of Chelsea and subsequently of the desire to support Red Bird for the relaunch of Milan. Nothing went through, with the Inter deal that could therefore be the opportunity to be exploited. Zhang’s request, which values ​​the club 1.2 billion euros, is considered excessive, but there is plenty of time to negotiate and find a square“.
