obviously depends on what was discussed, but this shouldnt be a big deal really. They're the owners of two of the biggest clubs in the league, and Italy needs to systematically change to compete with the bigger players, it's only right that these guys get together and start looking at a strategy

unless, of course, its for superleague in which case fuck them

Zhang should just piss off and not interfere anything related to football or well, Inter altogether.

He got played by Agnelli once with the Superleague BS, if not for that we would have been sold already to BC Partners.

As reported by Corriere della Sera, Zhang was overjoyed following the success in the Champions League and decided to reward the squad with €2m for reaching the Round of 16.

All hail our generous leader!

WHY ZHANG DECLARED THAT INTER WEREN’T FOR SALE
Inter president Steven Zhang publicly stated that the club were not for sale yesterday and there’s a clear explanation behind his statement.

Recent media reports have highlighted how Suning have been working with US banks Raine Group and Goldman Sachs in recent weeks, suggesting that they were looking for a buyer for the club. Other reports contradict this and note that the Zhang family are simply looking for a new minority stake partner.

As detailed by La Gazzetta dello Sport, Zhang’s statement that Inter weren’t for sale yesterday can be explained by his father Jindong’s situation in China. The Suning head has emerged in a strong position from last week’s Communist Party National Congress and this increased stability has had an effect on the company’s businesses.

The goal for the time being is still to find a new minority stake partner and the two US banks have been given a mandate for this aim.

THREE KEY POINTS FROM ZHANG’S SPEECH TO INTER SHAREHOLDERS
Steven Zhang gave a long speech to the Inter shareholders today, where he discussed the club’s financial situation and their goals moving forward. Here are three key points.

The Nerazzurri’s recently released financial statements look positive, showing a reduction of losses of around €140m and an increase in revenues of around €75m compared to last year. Whilst Inter missed out on the Scudetto by two points to intercity rivals Milan, they did win the Coppa Italia, beating Juventus in the final.

Zhang’s speech to the shareholders shed light on Suning’s goals for the club, their financial situation and the plan moving forward. Here are the key points.


1 – The post-COVID recovery


A key part of Zhang’s speech was his references to the recently released financial statements, confirming a growth in revenues and reduction in losses. The COVID pandemic majorly impacted the economic situations of football clubs around the world and they are still feeling the ramifications of this, something Zhang touched on today.

In his speech, he highlighted how last year “was the first season in which there were signs of recovery after the disruption caused by the COVID pandemic”, a positive step for the club. Suning are now looking for a minority partner and are also searching for a new main shirt sponsor.

2 – From football to culture

Zhang’s speech also made it clear that Suning see Inter as more than just a football club, but a brand as well. They are looking at the wider picture and are constantly searching to expand, something the Nerazzurri president commented on when he referred to “the evolution of Inter from a footballing icon to a cultural icon.”

The Inter president spoke about the partnerships with fashion and design brands, the change of the club’s badge and how this work “is a key lever through which revenue can be increased.”

3 – In for the long haul

Zhang concluded his speech by commenting on the rumours surrounding the future of Inter and a possible sale. He made it clear that Inter are not for sale, highlighting how Suning’s “commitment is long term” and stating that “the club’s future has never been in question.”

Inter are currently searching for a new minority partner but are seemingly not looking to sell the club for the time being, adding some stability to the situation after a difficult few years financially.
Propaganda?

What do you expect him to say?

"Yes bitches, we are selling this club because we could not afford to pay the bills."?

Don't have one.
That's the exact reason why the club was bought and given to him. My man has something to do, and he is on the map.

I didn't know he went to Wharton. Obviously his family's money helped him get in, but that's impressive.
Lol trump jr. Also went to wharton...
If your parents have cash going to one of these fancy schools means very little
