Inter Milan vice-president Javier Zanetti has revealed the major ambitions of owners Suning.

Zanetti says they're actively seeking to rebuild the club.

“We were winning for seven years in a row so it was perfectly natural that would end, at a time when the ownership changed twice in three years," Zanetti explained to Reuters.

“Now we are at the stage of trying to build an important team ... where the club wants to be in the best 10 in the world.

“That is what we are working for but you can't do that overnight. You need time, a strategic plan.

“You do it by building a team with good players but also with human values and with planning.

“If we also buy players in the future that will help, but we have to spend intelligently, choosing players who fit in with what we are looking for.

“The first thing we are looking to do is get back into the Champions League, where we feel at home.

“Suning has great respect for the identity and history of the club and for that reason we are working together to get Inter back to the big competitions."
