“Zhang and Red Bird are already excellent shareholders”

Not only the Nerazzurri Corporate CEO Alessandro Antonello, during the Merger & Acquisition Summit organized by The sun 24 hours also intervened Hzem Ben-GacemCo-Chief Executive Officer of Investcorpan opportunity to deny the possible involvement of the Bahraini club in Italian football: “Inter and Milan are huge clubs and institutions, especially for the fans. Every now and then I scratch my head when I read the Italian press saying that Investcorp does this or that and I I say ‘really? I didn’t remember. No, we don’t want and we haven’t looked at buying or investing in Inter or Milan in the last two years.

They have their shareholders, Steven Zhang and RedBird, they are great shareholders. It’s not an investment we look at. Football, like other sectors in Italy, is particularly interesting because for example it is driven by passion. Investcorp’s first investment was in 1984 in Riva and today it is one of the largest international brands. Italian football in the next 10 years could be one of the main world leagues and if we could have a part of it it would be magnificent.”
