Sometimes I feel that the Italian media is quite boring, when Inter's results are not good, every day I clamore for Inter Chairman Zhang Kangyang to change the coach and bring in reinforcements, and now the Nerazzurri are finally getting close to the championship in Serie A again, and the Italian media seems to want to replace Zhang Kangyang directly.
According to the "Republic" newspaper, a wealthy family in Saudi Arabia has become interested in Inter, and they hope to have direct contact with the Zhang family and review Inter's accounts to assess the possibility of investment.
To tell the truth, as Inter fans, we do have some worries about the future of Inter, not only that Zhang Kangyang owes Oak Capital as collateral as 380 million euros in loan principal and interest, but more importantly, Inter's debt is now the highest in Serie A, with 807 million euros.
Although Juventus also owe 790 million euros and rank second in Serie A, they are different from Inter Milan in that they have a big tree on their backs to Fiat, and they may be able to settle the Bianconeri's debt with a single hand. Although there is Suning behind Inter, due to the bad global environment and their own poor management, it is impossible for them to inject large sums of money as before, and Zhang Kangyang can only rely on Inter's own hematopoietic ability to maintain operations.
In such a predicament, Inter senior management, including Zhang Kangyang, also had the intention to sell Inter for a time. Unfortunately, due to the fact that the world economy as a whole has not yet recovered, coupled with Inter's own limited profitability, including the previous Finnish billionaire Ziliacus and the PIF fund, one of the four major Saudi consortia, are all thundering and raining, either just waiting and shouting, or just tentative offers, they and Zhang Kangyang have not carried out substantive negotiations.
From a financial point of view, if there is a white turban willing to invest or even buy Inter directly, it is a good thing for the club and Zhang Kangyang.
First of all, this is much better than falling into the hands of some speculators in the United States, looking at the current Manchester City, Newcastle and Grand Paris are not short of money, and Saudi tycoons are willing to leave the football industry to professionals.
Secondly, the Saudi tycoons definitely have stronger financial resources than Suning to wipe out Inter's debts, and the team can easily play, and there will be no worries about the competition for honor.
The last point is that Inter can easily sign superstars in international football with the injection of white turbans, giving Inter a chance to become one of the top clubs in Europe comparable to Real Madrid and Bayern.
However, we must also note that even if the white turbans are rich, no matter how interested they are in Inter, it is not as simple as buying a toy, after all, it is an investment of up to billions or even billions of euros.
Inter's financial report for the first half of the year shows that the club has begun to turn a profit and start making money, but how much interest does the white turbans have in the meagre 22.3 million euros?
Let's talk about the popularity of Serie A and the living environment of football, they are simply two worlds compared to the Premier League, with all kinds of D-balls, black whistles and even systematic cheating and corruption incidents emerging in an endless stream, all of which are unbearable to discourage investors.
The last point to express is that Inter may be able to make some money in the hands of Zhang Kangyang now, but if it is taken over by the white turban, who can guarantee that Inter can develop as well as it is now?
Of course, since Zhang Kangyang took control of Inter, the funds and energy he spent on Inter Milan were also extremely huge, and the results were obvious. So far, Zhang Kangyang's Inter have won 6 trophies, including 1 Serie A title, 2 Coppa Italia and 3 Italian Super Cups.
What is certain is that Inter is going uphill and is beginning to stabilize, Suning does not have many projects that can make money now, for Inter they are not able to let go easily, even if they want to, then the white turban must give enough offers, such as 1.5 billion euros or more.
Therefore, judging from the current situation, foreign investors, including Bai Turban, have doubts about buying Inter, and it is very difficult for them to reach a suitable offer with Zhang Kangyang.
It is worth noting that, unlike the white turban, with Zhang Kangyang's professional experience and love for football, he is interested in carrying the weight forward and continuing to take charge of Inter.
As for the loan of Oaktree Capital, there is a high probability that the repayment will be deferred after negotiation, and the final solution is that there are two options: one is to sell star players and build Inter into a European player foundry like Porto and Benfica;
