No, that's a secondary thing. Their first links were with Newcastle.
If they got in touch with Inter, and turned us down because of the price, then we can talk. But they went and tried to buy Newcastle *long before* they registered any interest in Inter.
They were buying Newcastle as early as April 2020 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2021_takeover_of_Newcastle_United - and that's just what is publicly known (e.g. they applied for the Fit and Proper Persons test, which would be fairly late stage I assume such as after negotiating a price).
Unless you have some inside knowledge, as far as I'm aware, PIF conversations were like Feb 2021.
The earliest news article linking them to us is https://sempreinter.com/2021/03/03/...-buy-inter-from-suning-italian-media-reports/ March 21. I odnt remember much from earlier than that.
