Inter Milan comments on owner change rumors

DBasia.news – Inter Milan are widely rumored to be changing owners soon. But that seems to be just a rumour.

The decision to sell Romelu Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi last summer was seen as a sign of Inter’s troubled financial strength. The threat of bankruptcy even began to haunt the defending Serie A champions.

Not long ago, rumors emerged of the sale of Inter. Suning Group as the owner are busy looking for potential buyers.

The Saudi Arabian consortium called the Public Investment Fund (PIF) led by Prince Salman then showed his seriousness in owning Inter. He seems dissatisfied even though he has acquired Newcastle United.

According to a report by The International Business Times at the end of last year, Prince Salman, through PIF, was ready to spend US$1 billion or Rp. 16 trillion to purchase Inter. Announcement of the acquisition will be issued soon.

But that rumor has now been debunked. Suning is still showing his commitment to Inter.

“There was no (decision to sell Inter). Shareholders (Suning) are committed to a long-term investment in the club,” Inter CEO Alessandro Antonello told the Financial Times.

Inter seems to have weathered the storm of the financial crisis well. The consistent performance of Simone Inzaghi’s team also helped.

This seems to be a consideration for Suning to remain the owner of Inter. However, it is possible that the situation could change suddenly.
