Paolillo: Inter Milan closer to falling into Oaktree hands

Former Inter Milan director Ernesto Paolillo has again questioned Suning's ownership.

There remains doubts whether Suning can repay the loan taken out with Oaktree.

“From the news I am seeing, there are no real negotiations for a take-over, but it's not hard as a man of finance to put two and two together," Paolillo told Gianluca Rossi on his YouTube channel.

“Inter's debt is enormous, it really is huge. And it is not sustainable to pay a debt with the level of interest that the club is currently paying to Oaktree, because it means adding deficit to the deficit.

“I am convinced that Steven Zhang will not be able to export capital from China and won't be able to cover the debt with other resources either, so he will have no choice but to default on the agreement with Oaktree and sell the club to them in exchange for covering the debt.

“At that point, all future decisions would be in the hands of Oaktree."
