The turning point at home is approaching Inter. According to reports from The sun 24 hoursthe signature between would in fact be expected at the beginning of the week, between Tuesday and Wednesday Steven Zhang and the US fund Pimco, which according to the economics and finance newspaper should essentially take over from Oaktre in the financing of the Nerazzurri owners.
In fact, by May 20, Zhang will have to repay the loan taken out in 2011 to the US fund, which in the meantime has risen to around 380 million euros considering interest. The final details still need to be defined, and the lawyers from Latham & Waktins for Suning and Dla Piper for Pimco are at work. The duration of the new agreement needs to be understood, as well as the amount: the rumors that have circulated so far talking about a new loan of 400 million euros.
The feeling, we read in the article written by Carlo Festa, is that the new loan from Pimco will be a bridge loan, preparatory to the entry of new majority shareholders at the top of Inter. At the moment, no official confirmation has arrived from the company. The last words on this matter are those of the CEO Beppe Marottapronounced after winning the championship: “We spoke with Steven about the problem in a non-widespread manner. He wants to continue at the top of the club. Then the owners will make certain announcements and will say what will happen. Nothing will change for us, we must be good at making the choices. The other communications will be made by the owners, who want to continue with Inter.”
