Inter Milan President Erick Thohir Steps Up Negotiations With Chinese Investors

Serie A side Inter Milan President Erick Thohir "is reportedly stepping up negotiations with Chinese investors," according to FOOTBALL ITALIA. The club has "already fallen foul of UEFA’s Financial Fair Play restrictions" and if it gets back into European competition it faces "the risk of being excluded or heavily fined." According to Sky Sport Italia, Thohir "has over the past couple of weeks intensified talks with a Chinese group interested in buying shares." Although the Indonesian businessman would maintain the majority shares and former Owner Massimo Moratti would hold onto his 20%, "the operation would bring in fresh funds." The Chinese group "has begun due diligence evaluations" (FOOTBALL ITALIA, 4/3).
