Former Inter president and owner Massimo Moratti has given an insight into the transfer policy that was in place during his tenure in charge of Inter.
Moratti purchased a controlling stake in Inter back in 1995 and was the club’s majority shareholder up until 2013 when Indonesian tycoon Erick Thohir became the club’s majority shareholder.
Moratti maintained some shares in the club upon Thohir becoming majority shareholder and he sold his remaining shares in the club in 2016 when Inter’s current owners Suning took over from Thohir.
“Let’s say there was a sort of unwritten rule, I let the managers choose a couple of players and I did the rest. The manager I satisfied most of all? Lippi, I think I signed almost all players that he asked me for,” he remarked in an interview with Italian news outlet CalcioMercato.com.
Moratti, who has not come back into the footballing world despite reportedly having had many opportunities to do so at lower league clubs, then shared his view on whether the currently postponed 2019/20 Serie A season should be resumed.
The season has been on hold for around six weeks now due to the ongoing global Coronavirus pandemic and reports have suggested that the season could resume at the end of next month or the start of June.
“I think it is more useful to focus on the next season,” he concluded.
