After day zero, here comes day one. Inter Milan is now officially owned by Oaktree, moving from Suning to the American investment fund. However, the transition isn’t as easy as changing shirts, there are technical steps to go through before the new era takes off. The management team will remain the same, as stated by Oaktree, but the board of directors will need to change. Two Oaktree-appointed directors will resign soon, leading to the dissolution of the board. This will pave the way for a new board to be elected, likely around mid-June, with some continuity expected but also significant changes from the previous owners.
This transition process means certain operations, including sports-related activities, will be put on hold for a while. Negotiations for player contracts, like with Lautaro Martinez, and potential transfers will continue, but formal announcements may have to wait until the new board is in place. The focus remains on responsible financial management and maintaining a positive balance in the budget. Any major decisions or changes will have to wait until the new ownership structure is fully established.
As the restructuring unfolds, the Inter Milan leadership, including Giuseppe Marotta, Piero Ausilio, and Dario Baccin, will work with the existing resources and financial constraints. The club will continue operating with prudence and financial sustainability until the new board can enforce its strategy. The road ahead for the new Inter under Oaktree’s ownership will be carefully navigated to ensure a smooth transition and a stable future for the Nerazzurri.
