Thohir set for English takeover?

By Football Italia staff

Inter President Erick Thohir is reportedly close to buying a majority share in English club Oxford United.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Thohir is ‘a step away’ from purchasing Oxford, who are 23rd in EFL League One after six defeats from their opening nine games.

It could also mean the Indonesian will sell his 31-percent stake in Inter to Suning Group, with Calciomercato.com expecting the transfer to take place ‘by the end of October’.

Thohir bought the Nerazzurri from Massimo Moratti five years ago, but the club experienced a period of stagnation under his ownership.
