On January 5, Sky Sports Italy and other media confirmed that Zhang Kangyang, president of Inter Milan Club, will return to Milan, Italy to deal with Inter's affairs. After half a year, Steven Zhang is back at the club again, hoping to see Inter win another title.
In May last year, Inter Milan lifted the Serie A trophy, and Zhang Kangyang, as the club's president, participated in the victory celebration. In June, Zhang Kangyang left the city of Milan. In the Europa League final in August (Inter vs Sevilla), Zhang Kangyang came to Cologne to watch, which is also the last time Zhang Kangyang has met with the team.
On Christmas Day 2021, Zhang Kangyang went to California for a vacation. After leisure, 30-year-old Zhang Kangyang will usher in a busy job. Sky Sports noted that the Inter presidency has a number of important matters:

Marotta
The renewal of the club's management is also what Zhang Kangyang needs to deal with. At Inter, General Manager Marotta, Sporting Director O'Silio, Assistant Sporting Director Dario Báchin are the big three in charge of football operations, and CEO Antonello is the head of commercial operations, and the four giants will renew their contracts until 2024 to ensure inter's stable operations.
In terms of players, the contract of midfield core Brozovic expires on June 30, and keeping Ronaldo is a top priority. Italian media revealed that B Ronaldo's renewal was basically finalized: an annual salary of 6 million euros, and the contract was renewed until 2025. After Zhang Kangyang returns to Inter, the signing and renewal work will be officially completed.
Inter also needs to issue €400 million in refinancing bonds. In May last year, Inter received €275 million in financing from Oak Capital, of which €200 million went to Inter and €75 million to address liquidity issues. Inter has a total of two bonds (€300 million + €75 million), which will be combined into one by issuing a new €400 million refinancing bond.
Sky Sports also revealed that Zhang Kangyang will also plan a transfer plan for the summer window. In serie A in the 2021-22 season, Inter is the champion in the half-way and is expected to stage a feat of two consecutive Serie A titles. On a competitive level, Inter is on track and, although there are still problems at the economic level, the situation is much better than it was a year ago. Zhang Kangyang's return to Milan this time is also a signal to suning's long-term operation of Inter.
