Inter Milan Approaching Financial Milestone – Debt Plummeting & Approaching Zero
Inter Milan are approaching a key financial milestone, as their debt is plummeting and approaching zero under Oaktree Capital. This is highlighted in today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInter1908. It is hardly a secret that Inter Milan have suffered some major financial difficulties in recent years. In the financial year ending in 2021, the Nerazzurri suffered operating losses of €216 million. Therefore, during that period, Inter took on significant debt. The major loan that previous owners Suning took on from Oaktree Capital was representative of this. As we the club's debt bond. Inter Milan Debt Plummets & Approaches Zero UDINE, ITALY – SEPTEMBER 18: Giuseppe Marotta, CEO for sport at FC Internazionale looks on prior to the Serie A match between Udinese Calcio and FC Internazionale at Dacia Arena on September 18, 2022 in Udine, Italy.

How far will Brentford go to keep Yoane Wissa?
Newcastle run into Brentford's wall despite ramping up their financial efforts. How far will Brentford go to keep Yoane Wissa? Yoane Wissa finds himself facing a total blockade from his club Brentford, who have turned down a new record offer from Newcastle United worth £40 million. The Magpies' latest bid included £35 million up front, plus an additional £5 million in bonuses. Brentford's management is standing firm in the face of Newcastle's repeated overtures, having already rejected an initial £25 million bid earlier this summer. The Bees have not set an official asking price for their star forward, but their demands appear to far exceed the amounts tabled so far. Newcastle ramp up the chase but Brentford dig in Newcastle are relentless in their pursuit of the DR Congo international. After their initial £25 million offer was knocked back this summer, the Magpies upped their bid this week to £40 million including bonuses. Yet Brentford remain unmoved, and according to some sources, are now demanding more than €60 million to part ways with their top scorer. Transfer window closing in, Yoane Wissa growing increasingly frustrated The arrival of Dango Ouattara from Bournemouth for a club-record €43 million has done nothing to break the deadlock. Signed on a five-year deal with an optional extra year, the Burkinabe was expected to pave the way for Wissa's departure, but Brentford are holding their ground. With the summer transfer window drawing to a close and the outcome of this saga still up in the air, the Congolese forward is finding the situation increasingly difficult as he remains sidelined while the Premier League season is already underway. On Tyneside, the urgency is mounting as Newcastle look to bolster their attacking options, particularly with the uncertainty surrounding Alexander Isak. The Magpies may be forced to return with an improved offer to try to convince Brentford to part ways with their striker—or else look elsewhere for reinforcements.

Motorsport body gives green light to £500m World Rally auction
World motorsport's governing body will this week give its public backing to an auction of the commercial rights to the World Rally Championship (WRC). Sky News understands that the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) will endorse a tender process as Red Bull and KW25, the existing rights-holders, seek an exit with seven years remaining on their deal. Red Bull and German investment company KW25 have been exploring a sale of the asset for close to a year, and have held talks with interested parties, including the private equity firm EQT, Sky News revealed in June. The impending exit of Red Bull may fuel speculation about the future of its other motorsport interests, and comes in the wake of Christian Horner's tumultuous departure as the team principal of F1's Red Bill Racing. Money latest: Chef's top supermarket sandwich and customer behaviour he can't stand A sale could value the WRC commercial rights entity, which is called WRC Promoter, and also owns rights to the European Rally Championship, at close to £500m. The WRC has seen broadcast and in-person audiences grow in recent years, with a 1.3bn cumulative television audience and more than 4 million attendees at races last year. The next round of this year's Championship takes place next week in Paraguay. The tender process comes amid a strengthening of the FIA's operational and financial performance under president Mohammed Ben Sulayem. It recently struck a €20m decade-long extension to Liberty Global's deal to run the Formula E electric car-racing series. Talks with Formula One's management about a new commercial rights deal are expected to result in a revised version of the sport's Concorde Agreement before the end of the year. Structured as a not-for-profit body, the FIA has turned a deficit of €24m in 2021, the year that Mr Ben Sulayem was elected, into a surplus of close to €5m last year. "The FIA World Rally Championship is at an exciting moment in its history", Mr Ben Sulayem said in a statement issued to Sky News. "Millions of fans around the world are following the action, and new, younger audiences are driving its global growth. "This Championship has enormous potential, and it is our responsibility as a governing body to ensure it continues to grow and reaches new heights."This process is an important step and will shape the long-term vision for the WRC, and I am confident that, together with the right partner, we can take the championship to the next level, preserve its proud heritage, and grow its global reach for generations of fans to come." After nine rounds of the 2025 WRC series, the championship standings are headed by British driver Elfyn Evans. There are five remaining races this well as private equity firms such as EQT, other bidders for the WRC rights are likely to include specialist sports investors and media companies, according to banking sources.
