Inter Milan chairman Erick Thohir is reportedly close to finalising a deal to take over League One Oxford United, reports, www.sportspromedia.com/. Thohir, who has a 30 per cent stake in the Italian giants, is interested in purchasing a majority stake in the club. It is thought that he would have to sell his stake in Inter in order to do the deal, and majority owners of the Serie A club, the Suning Group would be keen to complete a 100 per cent takeover, having outlined their intentions earlier this year. It is likely Thohir would demand around €200 million for his stake, leaving only a few minor investors with shares. A deal could be reached by the end of October, with Oxford United owner Sumrith Thanakarnjanasuth, who only took over in February, reportedly keen to sell.
