(Soccer) Suning Holdings denies Inter Milan sale chatter

Inter Milan president Steven Zhang has rejects reports in the Italian media that he is looking to sell the Serie A club.

Reports on Monday Saturday said that the Rothschild bank has a mandate to sell the entire club, as well as to find new investors to replace Lion Rock as minority shareholders, but the 18-time Italian champions strongly denied the story, Reuters reports.

"With regard to the rumours reported today, specifically referring to the possibility of FC Internazionale Milano being sold, president Steven Zhang categorically denies these false claims and stresses that they are entirely baseless," a club statement read.

China's Suning Holdings Group has been the majority shareholder of Inter since 2016, and Zhang was appointed president in October 2018 at the age of 27.
