The American ownership Oaktree has set precise parameters for Inter‘s market operations. According to today’s report from Corriere dello Sport, every standard purchase must comply with an annual cost limit on the balance sheet of less than 10 million euros.

A concrete example comes from the negotiations for the Israeli winger Khalaili. The player’s entourage has already reached an agreement with viale Liberazione for a four-year contract worth about 1.8 million per season. Even by slightly increasing the initial investment, the annual cost on the balance sheet would remain below the threshold set by the ownership.

The situation would be different for Chalobah. If Inter were to push for the defender, the limit would certainly be exceeded. Operating in the market while respecting the constraints imposed by Oaktree is not always easy for the Nerazzurri management, especially when considering targets of a certain level.
