Inter officially release 2016/17 home kit, but there's a problem with Pirelli
As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, however, Pirelli might not be Inter’s official sponsor for the next campaign. The relationship between the new Chinese ownership and the historic partner of the nerazzurri has deteriorates.
The logo of the tyre company has been removed from the team’s training kit, leaving Massimo Moratti (still an external advisor of Inter and one of Massimo Tronchetti Provera’s closest friends) speechless. The agreement with Pirelli is only valid for kits for official games and Suning have decided to cover the logo of the company on the team’s training kit with a white stripe.
New Chinese ownership might be negotiating the sponsorship of training kits with another company (probably a Chinese one) and also the agreement with Pirelli might be cancelled. Trouble is, Nike need to be informed about the club’s decision as soon as possible as the American company have already started the production of shirts for the next season.
