Oaktree is not in a hurry to sell Inter: no exit in 2027

The sale of Inter is not imminent. According to Sole 24 Ore, in recent weeks the main investment banks — especially American ones — have initiated a series of contacts with Oaktree to gauge the intentions of the Californian fund regarding the future of the Nerazzurri ownership.

At the center of the discussions are the timing of a possible exit by Oaktree, which became the owner of the club in 2024 after the Zhang family failed to repay the loan granted to them. The fund’s response, however, has tempered the expectations of those who were predicting a sale as early as 2027: Oaktree is said to have indicated to its financial interlocutors that an exit next year would be premature.

The strategy would be to further enhance the asset before monetizing the investment. In this context, the issue of the new stadium takes on significant importance, as it would represent one of the key elements to increase the value of the club before a possible sale.

Supporting the fund’s position are also the economic figures: in the 2025-2026 financial year, Inter recorded revenues of 517.7 million euros and a net profit of 22.7 million. These numbers, according to Sole 24 Ore, strengthen Oaktree’s belief that it can wait for more favorable conditions to sell the club.
