Zhang will first have to confront a tough situation in 2024 when the 330 million debt with the American fund Oaktree is due in May.
Is it possible to speculate that Zhang might consider selling Inter after the Club World Cup in the USA? This is the question posed today by Calcio e Finanza, which, in analyzing the club’s corporate situation that links Steven Zhang‘s reluctance to sell immediately until the upcoming Club World Cup.
The portal writes: “Among Italian clubs, Inter has the best chances of qualifying for the Club World Cup, especially if FIFA confirms the rumors that only UEFA ranking points obtained in the Champions League – and not those earned in the Europa and Conference League – will be considered for admission to the tournament. And if Simone Inzaghi’s team can replicate a successful run in the premier European competition this season as well that will certainly mean that the chinese owners will opt to sell the club.
In the past 3 years (since the Covid crisis) Inter has been a huge seller on the market and doing well by relying on Giuseppe Marotta’s expertise, who keeps doing miracles with limited budget and putting a competetive team every year. The decree from China is: “Collect as much money as you can” and so it has been for Inter.
There are currently no known interested parties, but everything is expected to change in just one year from now.
