He's commented just 3 years ago "I was a huge Juventus supporter"
key word there is was......
Not ideal that he was a jubentino but I highly doubt he s ready to blow his fortune on inter just to run us into the ground

Let's be honest, the guy probably doesn't give a damn about football. Naming Juve as your favorite club is a default Italian exercise for the people who don't care about calcio.

The good thing with Bloomberg article is they confirm InvestCorp interest for Inter. Now at least we have something to hope for and not just wishful thinking ala PIF.

As for Radrizanni, he has met with Inter executives many times and he has expressed the desire to invest in one of the Milan clubs one day. His interest in Inter is hardly surprising but i don't think he has the money to run the club at a competitive level.

Regarding Andrea Radrizzani, I thought Brehme might be joking.

Having one Gobbo (Marotta) is enough. Hopefully the other Gobbo will also stay away (Conte).

It is interesting how Gobbo's really want to be Interisti. It is almost as if they feel a sense of shame and know that the only way they can redeem themselves is to try and be black and blue.

First of all, I don`t give a shit if he was (his words) a big Juventus supporter. I just don`t care.
Second thing: if he came here I am pretty sure, he will try to make us more proffesional (from commercial perspective). And if you look at his resume, he seems to have the attributes for such tusk.

At best he'll be a new Thohir. I don't want another Thohir.
At least the guy pretended he was an Inter fan even if he got everything wrong about the club's history.

We just want Moratti and we aint getting one.

I actually think he can be way more successful than Thohir usinng Leeds as a track record. In his perspective, and fans perspective, both are better off.

"US-based fund Oaktree Capital could make a shock offer to buy Suning out at Inter before their loan expires in May of next year.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, who report that the US fund could decide to submit a bid to take over the Nerazzurri as interest rises from other potential bidders including InvestCorp and Leeds United owner Andrea Radrizzani.

Reports have intensified in recent weeks that Suning could decide to sell Inter, with one of the key factors in this being the fact that the loan that they took on from Oaktree in 2021 is set to expire in just over twelve months’ time.

Suning took in the massive loan, at €275 million, to cover operating liquidity at the club in the wake of post-pandemic financial problems.

However, there is still some way to go before the Nerazzurri owners are able to repay the loan, which would entail a total of €350 million in May of 2024 with interest.

If they are unable to do so then control of the club would pass into the hands of Oaktree as Inter was put up as collateral for the loan.

As such, the pressure is mounting on Suning to consider offers for the club, given that refinancing the Oaktree loan is proving difficult amid a climate of high interest rates.

Sky confirms the interest of Bahrain-based fund Investcorp in taking advantage of the situation by making an offer for the Nerazzurri, whilst they also report that Leeds United owner Radrizzani is indeed among potential bidders although his interest is still in the initial stage.

However, the Italian broadcaster propose another serious possibility, namely that Oaktree themselves could decide to put in an offer to buy Suning out.

Whilst the US-based fund could wait until the loan has to be repaid by Suning and should they fail to do so, take over the club, Sky reports that they may not even wait that long.

The Italian broadcaster reports further that there is a serious possibility that Oaktree could instead test the Nerazzurri owners’ resolve with an offer already in the coming months to buy the club outright with part of the sum of the loan they are owed being used as part payment in the purchase price.

Why pay Suning's price when a discount will most likely be available closer to May 2024?
so they can sell for more?

From oaktrees perspective cause you think there are buyers and suning will pay you back/ wont default on the loan...
If your another interested party you have no idea what oaktree would want for Inter might be more than suning... Also as long as the debt to oaktree is outstanding you re dealing with a party in distress and under immense pressure in suning... If you wait for oaktree to takeover you might find your selfe negotiating with a party that is in no hurry what so ever to make a sale even if that is the ultimate goal.

So there are reasons why one would want and try to close a deal now with suning.

No one is paying 1B.

The figure will most likely be 500-600M, enough to Suning to get out and cheap enough for the new owners to make a difference. Every month that passes by the figure will most likely get lower and I am still not sure how much debt the club is carrying and the capital for the new Stadium either.

This must be considered in the final price.

I think what makes me more hopeful than usual is that the news didn’t come out during an international break or the summer where everyone is desperate for clicks, but rather during a crucial part of the season.
Distraction tactics via tactical leak from Marotta. A big contribution to make up for his historical failings in the transfer market.

1B yeah right. Zhang with his little willie is just having a pissing contest that isn't good for him.

Our stars will be sold, we will most likely fall out of European competition for season 23/24.

Aging infrastructure and probably investment of 500M for new stadia and to top off 415M in debt, with what I assume will incur interest? In a dying league because they refuse to be modernised and make changes.

I would say the offer will now closely be more like 450M outright.
