Negotiation stepped up as Suning eyes Inter Milan stake

Top executives from Italian soccer club Inter Milan will travel to Nanjing over the weekend to speed up negotiations for the sale of a majority stake in the club to China's Suning Commerce Group, according to a source familiar with the matter.

It would be the second visit by an Inter Milan delegation to China in less than a month.

In May, Inter Milan's CEO Michael Bollingbroke and other company delegates visited Suning's headquarters in Nanjing, Jiangsu province.
