Inter Milan Future At A Crossroads As Oaktree Caught In Two Minds – Sell Or Hold

Oaktree Capital Management, now controlling Inter Milan, is weighing whether to sell the club soon or wait three years to enhance its investment.

According to Carlo Festa in Il Sole 24 Ore, as reported by FCInterNews, this has been a polarising subject within the United States fund.

While some, like Alejandro Cano, push for a hold to allow the club’s value to grow, others argue for a quicker sale to maximize immediate returns.

This strategic debate reflects differing visions on the best way to balance short-term gains with the potential for greater future profitability.

Several investment banks, including US juggernaut Goldman Sachs, have pitched potential buyers.

However, no tangible offers have emerged.

As the debate continues between Oaktree’s teams in Los Angeles and Milan, everyone around San Siro waits with bated breath.

But the timing couldn’t have been worse.

Indeed, these are potentially crucial days for Inter’s bid to build a new stadium in the San Siro area.

Inter Milan Future At Crossroads As Oaktree Caught In Two Minds

AC Milan and Inter are on the verge of gaining a feasibility document from the Municipality of Milan.

It would allow them to move on with their joint effort to refurbish their iconic stadium.

Therefore, there’s no room for distractions of this magnitude.

However, as with every hedge fund, Oaktree puts profits first.

The American fund’s priority on profitability could influence decisions on potential sales or investment timelines.

Despite hedge funds’ notorious reputation, Inter have thrived under Oaktree.

Having Alejandro Cano on their side is a boost for the Nerazzurri.

But, the coming months may reveal if Cano’s backing will tilt the decision in favor of continuity or a timely exit.

Off-field distraction is the last thing Simone Inzaghi needs now that he endeavors to lead Inter to new heights.

The Nerazzurri will take on Arsenal in a blockbuster UEFA Champions League clash tonight.
