Inter’s financing deal with Oaktree Capital does nothing to change the club’s transfer prospects, a report in the Italian media explained today.
Corriere dello Sport’s print edition confirmed the Nerazzurri had received €275 million from the US-based private equity fund, but none of this will be put towards signing players.
Inter will use that money to cover their costs for the remainder of the season, such as player salaries and transfer installments, not to fund their transfer campaign.
The club must self-finance their business by selling players before they can sign, and this is one of the issues which led to Antonio Conte’s shock departure today.
Inter will be obliged to sell key players before June 30 and they will need to listen to offers for key players such as Lautaro Martinez and Alessandro Bastoni.
Conte had no intention of staying if these were the premises, and he sent a pointed message on Instagram yesterday when he posted a picture with his squad and said ‘all together’.
