Lega Serie A President Maurizio Beretta discusses Thohir Inter Milan bid

Lega Serie A President Maurizio Beretta has commented on Erick Thohir's intention to take a controlling stake in Inter Milan.

Inter patron Massimo Moratti said this weekend he's decided to sell at least part of his shares to Indonesian magnate Thohir in order to increase revenue and make the brand global.

"This vision of the future needs to be a guiding light for the future of all of us," Beretta told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"After all, international investors only show an interest in precious things. This is therefore recognition for a movement that has a strong tradition, history of success and a tournament that is liked abroad.

"Now we need another step up in quality to make the most of our solid platform in this country to play a role on the global system.

"It is a challenge that many Presidents are asking us about and we must follow that up. We started late in this regard compared to the Premier League and need many elements, starting from new stadiums that are fundamental to sell the product abroad."
