President Erick Thohir assured he is “not planning to buy any English club, nor sell the majority of Inter shares.”
The Indonesian businessman spoke to Sky Sport Italia and responded to reports in La Gazzetta dello Sport that he will sell Inter in order to invest in England, for example at Fulham.
“I am not planning to buy any English club. I really don’t understand where that is coming from.”

“I am not planning to buy any English club. I really don’t understand where that is coming from.”
Is Thohir planning to sell more than 20 per cent of Inter to Suning Commerce Group?
“Basically, it’s not true. I am here to build Inter, as I promised, not to run away. I want to build for the future. This is why I believe in my management and don’t want to sell the majority.
“I have a good rapport with Massimo Moratti, as I’ve said many times before, so I really don’t know why they keep writing these things.”
Negotiations with Suning are certainly on-going, as their President Zhang Jindong is in the stands of San Siro after a series of meetings at the club HQ and Moratti’s villa.
“This is why I say yes, we are looking for minority investors, and I cannot say the negotiations are closed until it is all finalised. That is my style.”
