Yes, it is likely the case. But, if PIF really acquires Inter, they better come with a substantial investment, which necessitates long-term perspective. Instead of leaving a possibility to have a clash with UEFA down the road, I think they would prefer to come up with a structured transaction...

Their report is based on the news previously published by International Business Times. If the news is true, it remains to be seen how PIF configure the ownership structure. I don't think UEFA allow two clubs with similar owner (Newcastle and Inter, if it happens) to participate in UEFA competition.

BBC Arabic just reported the possibility of PIF acquisition.

If Hakimi is a gazelle, this guy is a damn horse.

Castrovilli is not available, I think.

Positive Note: He has raw physical power higher than that of Darmian, or even Hakimi. He's quite dangerous whenever we were in counter-attack phase. Also, I see him as a potential aerial threat for opponents. Negative Note: Needs to improve tactically. In addition, he must learn how to...

What I read is that a part of the agreement between ET and Suning is not to dillute ET's shares, regardless of capitals pumped by Suning. Before anyone jumping into Thohir cursing bandwagon, such arrangement is normal in M/A transaction as 'sweetener'. Good news, nevertheless. The fewer things...

According to a journalist of Premium SM, Suning is putting up Inter for sale. Devastating if true. https://twitter.com/Paolo_Bargiggia?lang=en

Yes, in the sense that we have to include any players with obligation to buy as our own in our book. It's a standard rule of any transaction considered as capital lease. But, I'm not so sure whether the impact of amortization should already take place during the loan period.

Well, yeah. Probably because before the Qatari investment came to the club, PSG was in a better financial situation than that of Inter, so they weren't forced to enter into settlement agreement with UEFA. Another thing is that PSG and ManCity are owned by governments through their respective...

I wonder whether our top transfer targets are aware of this situation, that we're actually in CL, but most likely they can't play in it? It's such a joke of situation if true. I will feel bad also for last season's signings (Skriniar, Vecino, etc), they don't deserve to be in this mess.

I agree. The ideal situation is that we get established players without having to release our top prospects. But life doesn't always work that way, does it? Our utmost priority for years to come is to get continuous qualification in CL. Anything less is too costly to bear for a club of our...

Let's wait until 30th of June. If we manage to gather the required capital gains to compensate the amortization deficits, we will be fine. If not, let's hope our CL season will not be embarrassing :D

Thanks Mate. I'm trying to be realistic here. If we can manage to pass the group stages of CL next season, it would be huge positive for me.

We can't even form a proper starting eleven with that shit LOL My question is that could we include new players in the list, given that we get the player(s) after we sell our youths?
