Potential new Inter Milan owner Thomas Zilliacus has claimed that signing PSG superstar Kylian Mbappe “wouldn’t be just a dream” if he buys the club.

The Finnish businessman has emerged as a frontrunner to buy the Nerazzurri from Inter’s current Chinese owners, The Zhang family, who are open to selling due to financial difficulties.

And Zilliacus has promised that if he does take over, he has big plans - including signing superstars like Mbappe.

What did Zilliacus say?

“Our investors are financial investors who are not part of the football world. We are convinced that we can become, as Inter, an even bigger club than now. This is not a criticism of the current club, who have great management and a great coach.

“Our goal would be to grow, with this new ownership we would like to specialise in the creation of services for fans around the world as well, with the intention of increasing revenues and then going on to have greater strength in the market.

“The consequence of all this would then be the possibility of buying top players and, in general, improving an already strong team. Mbappe, for example, wouldn’t be just a dream.

“The idea would be to gradually strengthen an already quality line-up to compete, every year, for both the Scudetto and the Champions League.”

Mbappe is still widely expected to join Real Madrid next summer when his contract at PSG expires.

However, twice before in recent years he has changed his mind on leaving PSG so it can’t be completely ruled out that he would do this once again.

A transfer to Inter next summer would nevertheless seem almost impossible.

It should also be noted that Mbappe’s favourite club in Italy as a kid was Milan, with the attacker speaking openly about his love for the Rossoneri.
