Inter Milan owners Suning are in talks to sell part of the club to American Marc Lasry.
Lasry, an entrepreneur born in Marrakech is the head of the Avenue Capital Group fund and co-owner of the Milwaukee Bucks, which plays in the NBA.
The tycoon who grew up and trained in the United States can count on a fortune of about $1.8 billion.
Sportmediaset says Lasry would also like to involve Wes Edens, his business partner already in basketball.
Edens is also co-owner of Aston Villa.
