Italian football club Inter Milan is negotiating a new loan that could be worth €400 million ($426 million) with the US fund Pimco, Corriere della Sera reported Sunday.

Chinese investor Steven Zhang, the club’s chairman, is looking to refinance an existing €275 million credit with Oaktree that comes due next month, according to the report. An agreement with Pimco would give the team’s owners a way to meet its financial obligations and retain control of Inter.
