Inter Milan CEO Tells Staff Not To Believe Reports About Sale Of Stocks

Serie A side Inter Milan CEO Michael Bolingbroke addressed his staff to tell them "there will be no sale of stocks to Chinese investors," according to FOOTBALL ITALIA. There are "insistent rumours" that President Erick Thohir is planning on selling 20% of the "club's stocks to the Chinese Suning Group." The move would allow the club to "remain financially competitive after a disappointing season that will almost certainly see them out of next year's Champions League." However, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports of an "internal conference held by Bolingbroke with his staff members." Bolingbroke reportedly told his staff "not to believe the Press," as Inter has no plans to sell any of its stocks. Instead, the club is "merely looking for a business partnership with a third party" (FOOTBALL ITALIA, 4/12).
