Reports have it that Suning has asked Goldman Sachs to find potential buyers for Inter, with an asking price of €1.2 billion.
This is hardly the first time that the rumours have emerged of the Serie A side being put up for sale.
Or even just trying to find new investors to help balance the books.
According to newspaper Libero and Tuttomercatoweb, the process was started with Goldman Sachs given the mandate to find buyers.
It comes just days after Serie A rivals Milan completed the takeover by American investment firm RedBird Capital Partners at €1.3 billion.
The report is at pains to point out that this does not mean the sale of Inter is imminent, merely that the exploratory process has been initiated to gauge interest.
There were already suggestions a few months ago that Saudi investment firm PIF were interested in the Nerazzurri, having already completed the takeover of Premier League side Newcastle United.
