Nerazzurri might be helped by the sponsor of the Inter jersey to bring in the Barcelona superstar Lionel Messi, but for the same, the club president Steven Zhang has to “effort himself,” said Pirelli chief executive Marco Tronchetti.
However, the coronavirus outbreak would affect Pirelli’s capacity to participate, alerted Tronchetti as happened in 2018 when Italian car manufacturer Fiat helped Cristiano Ronaldo move from Real Madrid to Juventus.
“Honestly, at a time like this, between Formula 1, America’s Cup and Inter, we can’t invest more in sports than we are,” Tronchetti told Gr Parlamento (via Football Italia).
“We have to ask Steven Zhang himself to make an effort. We can help but we can’t do anything meaningful.”
