Oaktree in its third year of management, possible sale on the horizon

On May 24, 2024, Oaktree took over Inter from the previous owner Suning, acquiring control after the failure to repay a three-year loan of approximately 395 million euros in total, granted in 2021. Since then, the club’s management has undergone significant changes, with clear repercussions on the transfer market.

The financial constraints imposed by the fund have forced Marotta and Ausilio to frequently revise their transfer strategies, adapting initial plans to the new directives. Now, a new scenario is opening up.

According to reports from the Corriere della Sera, the American fund may consider selling the Nerazzurri club. “This is an important turning point for Oaktree, now entering its third year of direct management and soon it may explore the possibility of selling the club. The Inter product needs to be enhanced, in Italy, in Europe, and while we’re at it, also in Australia.”

The current phase represents a crucial moment in the management of the club by the American ownership, which is evaluating future opportunities for the company.
