From Stadium Situation To New Powers For Transfer Team – “Oaktree Era” At Inter Milan Starts Tomorrow

From transfers to the new stadium, tomorrow will mark the beginning of the “Oaktree era” at Inter Milan.

This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews.

Oaktree have already been, technically speaking, Inter owners for a couple weeks now.

The US-based fund repossessed the shares of Suning in the club last month, after the previous owners defaulted on their debt.

But Oaktree have yet to really take command at the helm of the Nerazzurri.

Representatives of the fund have held several meetings with key figures within the club. They have gotten on the same page as far as their strategy – both on and off the pitch.

But as of yet, Oaktree has not had an executive structure in place.

Tomorrow, that changes. The new Inter owners will select a board of directors and President to replace the outgoing ones.

“Oaktree Era” Begins At Inter Milan

According to the Gazzetta, there will be a couple key themes that mark the “Oaktree era” at Inter.

First of all, the newspaper anticipate, the new owners will be very keen to get moving on the new stadium situation.

By the end of this month, there will be a feasibility study on renovations to the San Siro.

Oaktree intend to evaluate very quickly whether these proposed renovations could accommodate Inter’s needs.

Otherwise, the fund want to get moving on plans to build a stadium in the commune of Rozzano.

Meanwhile, the Gazzetta report, things will be a bit different for Inter’s transfer team under the ownership of Oaktree.

With Suning at the helm, there was a need for a green light from President Steven Zhang for any major transfer business at the Nerazzurri.

That will be a bit different under Oaktree. Inter CEO Beppe Marotta, Sporting Director Piero Ausilio, and Assistant Sporting DIrector Dario Baccin should now have more autonomy.
