It is no news that a large part of Milanese high finance is rooting for Inter. Apart from the Moratti family, the most prominent exponent of the financial community with a declared faith in Inter is the former CEO of Unicredit and current president of Monte dei Paschi, Alessandro Profumo.
Confirming the closeness between high finance and the Nerazzurri colors is now the entry of three big calibers from the Milanese City into the Inter board of directors: the president of Banca Leonardo, Gerardo Braggiotti, the former CEO of the private equity fund , Nicola Volpi, and the business lawyer Carlo D'Urso. He named them at the Inter meeting held yesterday.
The entry of the three big names in finance means two things: reconciliation between the Indonesian president Erick Thohir and his predecessor and current shareholder Massimo Moratti, who indicated Braggiotti and D'Urso for the board of directors and the need to study a capital strengthening of the club in deep red also in view of a transfer campaign that will have to give new strength to the new coach Roberto Mancini.
This is why, after a budget loss of 103 million in the 2013-2014 season and after having accumulated 400 million red from the 2010 treble to date, Inter is looking for 40 million by January either through a capital increase or with a mixed operation which also provides for the issue of a bond. The skills of Braggiotti and D'Urso will help.
