Although after the quarterfinals of the Champions League, many Inter fans began to pay no attention to the team's competitive news, and even had a "lying flat" mentality. It is undeniable that Inter Milan are far ahead of the league standings, the Serie A title is almost in doubt, and the remaining games of the Champions League have become boring in an instant without the Nerazzurri.
If I guessed correctly, it was Inter's outstanding performance at the competitive level in recent seasons, coupled with the increase in sponsorship fees and peripheral retail, as well as the increase in ticket revenue, that made Inter Milan begin to become fat in the eyes of some consortiums, and they are eager to take a bite.
It is certain that Zhang Kangyang's negotiations on the deferred repayment of 275 million euros should have started with Oaktree Capital a long time ago, and the other party's attitude should have been relatively mild at first, as long as you can give me interest and raise the interest rate to help me make money, you can postpone the repayment if you are willing to postpone the repayment! At least the 105 million euros of interest in the first three years can already be in my pocket, not to mention that with the entity of Inter as collateral, there is no need to worry about the principal of 275 million yuan not being repaid, as the so-called monk can't run the temple!
To be honest, Zhang Kangyang will definitely not want to run, even if he puts aside his identity as a Suning Shaodong, these players of Inter Milan alone will not only have the principal and interest of this loan. For Zhang Kangyang, due to the current recession of the global economy, Suning's other aspects of business have more or less begun to decline, while Inter Milan is different, although it is still in a state of loss, but it is decreasing every season, as long as it persists, it can become Suning's positive assets.
According to the financial statements provided by Inter's previous board of directors:
In the 2020-21 season, Inter lost 245.6 million euros;
In the 2021-22 season, Inter lost 140 million euros;
In the 2022-23 season, Inter lost 85 million euros.
According to Italian media forecasts, given that Inter's income has increased significantly in all aspects this season, their losses in the 2023-24 season will be reduced to around 40 million euros, and if it is possible to encounter a local tyrant snapping up a player, Inter can even make a profit immediately.
What is certain is that where there are interests, there will be capital infiltration, and Oaktree Capital's rejection of Zhang Kangyang's deferred repayment plan is the idea of monopolizing Inter.
It is undeniable that Oaktree Capital has indeed done its homework, and their wishful thinking may be very simple, after Zhang Kangyang was driven away by them and took over Inter, Oaktree Capital will continue to use the original team, and even inject capital. After Inter's results go to the next level, don't say 1.2 billion or 1.3 billion, with their relationship in the financial industry, they may be able to sell for more than 1.5 billion, and in just 1 to 2 seasons, they can earn hundreds of millions more, is it faster and more than interest?
At present, many fans believe that Zhang Kangyang will not lose control of Inter after May 20 this year, and their confidence stems from the fact that when Zhang Kangyang mortgaged Inter to Oaktree Capital, according to some Italian media, he inserted a so-called special clause. That is, when Zhang Kangyang is unable to repay the loan, Oaktree Capital must take over Inter at the market price, and after deducting the principal and interest of the loan and other expenses, convert the remaining value into cash and pay Zhang Kangyang.
If this clause is confirmed, according to the previous offer of 1.3 billion euros from the Middle East consortium for Inter, Oaktree Capital will need to pay Zhang Kangyang at least 900 million euros in cash, which is absolutely unprofessional for a large international financial institution.
It can be guessed that Oaktree Capital dared to reject Zhang Kangyang, and they must have a deduction for the future results, even if Zhang Kangyang really inserted the above clause when taking out the loan, it should be activated under certain conditions.
As the saying goes, "the husband is not guilty of his guilt", if Zhang Kangyang makes a mess of Inter, maybe Oaktree Capital will not be so interested in Inter, and many things are negotiable, after all, everyone has to do business.
Now, Inter Milan is booming under the leadership of Zhang Kangyang, but it has attracted the covetousness of capital, of course, we have to suspect that Italy's domestic Inter competitors are acting as the mastermind behind the scenes, after all, there is only one Serie A champion, and the possibility of an Inter with obvious traces of Chinese capital being excluded and suppressed in the West still exists.
Finally, there are only 55 days left before the repayment date on May 20, although we are not sure how Zhang Kangyang will solve the predicament, but according to the news of some institutions that are closer to Inter, the possibility of Inter Milan changing hands is almost none, everyone can rest assured, let's wait and see!
