I can take that. Some interested party will buy Inter for cheap from Oaktree and possibly have better funds to support the operation then.
yep. Fortunately, players impact us far more than whoever owns the club - if Zhang loses 1 billion out of his own greed, I dont really gaf. If we lose Bastoni out of greed, I do.

But we ll probably loose basto or barella this summer if the zhangs dont manage to sell after this season.... Like you pointed out even if the cl will bring us to break even for this season we ll still be short +/- 40 mio for next years budget even if we make CL again and we sure as shit cant bank on making CL QF or SFs next year.....

The problem here is that every potential buyer who is only in it for the money would be foolsih to not wait till the zhangs loan expires especially if they dong budge from their asking price....
I could see offers slightly increasing if the potential future owner is more interested in wining then in making money but i dont think we have any of them intrested. Like if we make the SF or even the finals of CL we d be attractive as you dont often get the chance to buy a team that is that competitive.

Anyways that fucken loan could keep investors away if they think the zhangs are gonna default. Further more we should not exclude the zhangs comming up with that money....

ANyways i hope investcorp is serious and is moving forward o close a deal this off season.

Oh I agree, I really hope we have a transaction this summer and we keep the key players. The greed matters from that perspective but for me I don't care about what goes back to the Zhang's at the end of all this. The net value of inter is largely irrelevant to me personally

Got curious as to what happened to the Inter spac and apperently they are still on it:

Zhangs not intrested thus far but if the Spac president is honest and they have the +/- 200mio this could be another opportunity for zhangs to weasel them selves out of the oaktree agreement they could sell part of inter to the spac and repay the loan....

I'd love to see what the numbers actually are. 212m is outperforming my expectations, even though it's still too far to make any real difference in terms of ownership.

I wonder when you are contractually locked into having the funds taken legally, for example.

Well he claims they have interest from 80k interistas so far i can see how one could raise 200 mio from that many especially if there are quite some very wealthy people involved.....
Sadly there is very little info out there towards how the deal would be structured, they just mention that they wanna copy bayerns model and dont wanna kick out suning/zhangs. Zhangs have not show intrest yet though...

Anyways my point was more towards if they "have" 200 mio ready it would give the zhangs another option to avoid defaulting on that oaktree loan...

One could also argue that since the spac is still searching institutional investors and reportedly investcorp is still searching for investors these two could potentially team up....
Than again Investcorp probably not to interested in that 50+1 model

Yeah I saw the claims in the article, I just wonder if we will see a lot of dropouts when people are actually asked to pay for example. Bear in mind that is money potentially pledged a couple years ago prerecession etc



I think as you say, there's no practicalities up til Zhang's show up to discuss. We can talk about theoretical models all we want but it means nothing for now. There's a very real world where it could be a one off cash I injection to help clear some debt but then just gets reduced and reduced via d2e conversions

Basically 1 year before suning default.

He will either accept an offer or lose it completely. And I don't see any investor, or billionaire consortium paying close to the 1B valuation.

Zhang put himself in a corner with no wriggle room for negotiations. To think PIF would have been the best choice 12 months ago for what 800M

Tbh, I doubt PIF was ever that realistic especially considering the press leaks in the UK in the last couple of weeks. I think if they ever looked serious about someone else, England would have changed their opinions quickly. Which may indeed exactly have been what happened

PIF would be nice, they were also interested in Marseille, new sister clubs would be welcome, they wanted top clubs in each top league

At least Sole 24 Ore never reported anything concrete about PIF unlike this Investcorp thing.

What we know is Zhangs have put Inter on sale. Raine group tasked to find the buyer. Raine group is the one which is handling Man United sale as we speak.

There's too much external pressure for these arrogant fucks to keep the club hostage.

Let's hope the fans cause some internal pressure as well...

What external pressure? Really!

Unless it`s a rich sugar daddy, who doesn`t know what to do with money, any potential buyer will probably want to deal with Oaktree in 2024.

I googled "Andrea Radrizzani net worth" and it pops out 450m pounds. Not the real sugar daddy on the white horse, many of us would love.
But Radrizzani "made Leeds great again", or kinda.

Yeah he s light on the net worth side but i d assume it would be slightly higher if he sold all his leeds stake..
The intriguing thing about radrizzani is that he s a sports brodcasting expert.... dude founded 11sports and sold it to dazn and even his previous ventures had to fo with tv rights for diffrent sports....
Might be the right guy to lead inter and serie a to better tv deals....
Then again he d obviously need other investors alongside him
