Pirelli chief Marco Tronchetti Provera has played down talk of Inter Milan moving for Barcelona star Leo Messi.
The Inter powerbroker had floated the prospect earlier this season.
“Suning? They've shown great sincerity," he told Gr Parlamento.
“They've assumed responsibility of the team and their interest in football and Inter can be seen.
“They know where to take [the club]. You can see that they want Inter to be back among the biggest clubs in the world. They're on the right track.
“Messi? It was a provocation to stimulate the club, to fuel dreams, but top players are already there, although in the future, as a fan, I can always hope for the best [players].
“Do I miss our champions of the past? There are many players that remain in my heart, but Inter are a top team again. There are no regrets but only hopes for the future."
