A preview of the Italian television program `Report`, scheduled to air tonight on Rai 3, addresses Inter Milan`s financial difficulties. These issues are linked to the declared bankruptcy of the club`s former Chinese owner, Suning.
Journalist Laura Morelli was interviewed about the role of Lionrock, a fund that was reportedly supposed to invest in the Nerazzurri club. However, Morelli highlighted the absence of official proof regarding this investment.
Morelli explained that Lionrock primarily focuses on investments in consumer goods. According to their website, they have invested in nine companies since 2011, including Inter. She noted that football had never been a focus for their investments before; Inter is listed as the first and, so far, the only one of its kind.
Regarding the specific amount invested in Inter, Morelli stated that this figure has never been officialized. When the operation was initially reported, figures between 150 and 200 million euros were widely mentioned. Morelli pointedly quoted Lionrock as saying they “have invested” in Inter, adding that, based on the reported scale of the operation, they “should have put in between 150 and 200 million euros.”
