Winning the league title again, Inter Milan successfully embroidered a second star on the team logo on his chest, plus six kills against old rival AC Milan, which really made the club happy for a while.
As the saying goes, happiness begets sorrow, and Inter's bad things have also come one after another.
Successive championships, coupled with a surge in revenue, have made it difficult for the club to renew its contract. Only two of Marotta's four major contract renewal targets have been completed recently, with Dimarco and Barella agreeing to contract extensions shortly after receiving their initial offers, while Dumfries and Lautaro have rejected the team's offers.
The former is not satisfied with the annual salary of 4 million after tax and asks for 5 million, while the latter also does not meet the offer of 8 million after tax, according to Milan sports newspaper and the famous Italian journalist Longo, the player and his agent are asking for a salary of more than 10 million after tax.
If the matter of the team's contract renewal is easy to solve, the trouble encountered by Zhang Kangyang and Suning Group will cause a huge earthquake in the entire club.
According to the latest confirmation of Marco Bellinazzo, a well-known Italian financial journalist, Zhang Kangyang and Suning Group's 380 million debt secondary financing plan for Oaktree Capital failed, that is, they lost control of the club.
In 2021, Zhang Kangyang and Suning pledged Inter's equity to borrow 275 million from the American fund Oaktree Capital, of which the interest was as high as 12%, and the principal and interest of 380 million euros need to be repaid at the same time on May 21, 2024.
Despite the team's financial improvement, Zhang Kangyang, Suning and Inter Milan are unable to repay the money on time.
In order to settle the debt, the latter tried to negotiate a second financing with Oaktree Capital to support the loan.
Oaktree Capital was not polite, and directly rejected all the plans proposed by Zhang Kangyang, and issued an ultimatum that either Inter would change hands, or borrow another loan with an interest rate of 20%.
Therefore, Zhang Kangyang and Suning began to seek loans from other funds, and approached an agreement with Pimco (Pacific Investment Management Company) in the United States, but in the end it was aborted because Oaktree Capital did not provide relevant documents, and Zhang Kangyang, who was hit hard, couldn't help but publish social media accusations against Oaktree Capital as the chairman of Inter.
So far, Inter Milan under the leadership of Zhang Kangyang has won 7 titles, and he has also successfully chased Jerro Moratti's 16 titles, second only to Massimo Moratti, ranking third in team history. Although many people deny Zhang Kangyang's ability, the revival of Inter Milan in terms of economy and performance during his tenure is real, and changing the leader at this time will definitely be a huge blow to the club.
However, Zhang Kangyang will not get nothing, and Oaktree Capital will need to assess the true value of Inter's equity and pay Zhang Kangyang and Suning expenses after deducting debts.
