However, Inter have since released a statement denying the report.
It said: “With regard to the rumours reported today, specifically referring to the possibility of FC Internazionale Milano being sold, president Steven Zhang categorically denies these false claims and stresses that they are entirely baseless.”
Suning bought its majority stake in Inter in the summer of 2016, and Zhang has overseen an improvement in the club’s fortunes in recent years.
Inter finished between fourth and ninth in every season between 2012 and 2017, but ended up only one point behind Juventus as runners-up last season.
Antonio Conte’s arrival as head coach, plus some big spending on players such as Romelu Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi, have helped Inter move back towards their historic spot among Europe’s biggest clubs.
