Lazio Owner’s Unhinged Attack On Inter Milan: “Many Clubs In Serie A Who Can’t Afford To Register For Serie A But Go On & Win It”

Lazio owner Claudio Lotito believes Inter Milan won the Serie A title last season despite “not being eligible to register” due to financial reasons.

The Biancocelesti suggested that the Nerazzurri should be barred from the league over financial improprieties in a tirade at the LUISS Guido Carli, a private university in Rome, via Gazzetta.it.

Inter Milan’s financial situation has certainly never been a secret. The Nerazzurri have taken major strides towards addressing things over the last few years.

But at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, they took enormous financial losses.

This led to the eventual exit of Suning as Inter Milan owners.

The Chinese company took on a large loan from North American fund Oaktree Capital in the spring of 2021.

And then last year, Suning defaulted on the loan. Therefore, control of Inter passed into the hands of Oaktree.

Meanwhile, Inter’s financial struggles have led to all sorts of rumours and speculation about the club’s future, and potential worst-case scenarios that they could face.

And at times, major figures at other top Italian clubs have fuelled such speculation. Among them, Lazio owner Claudio Lotito.

Cluadio Lotito Attacks Inter Milan: “Clubs Win Serie A Who Don’t Meet Financial Requirement To Register”

Lazio owner Lotito vented in a speech at a football management seminar at the LUISS Guido Carli.

“All these clubs who spend and spend and spend are supported by big funds,” he noted.

“But they don’t have financial balance.”

The Biancocelesti owner added that “there are a lot of teams who play in Serie A now who don’t even meet the requirements to register in it.”

“But how do you bar the biggest names from participating?” Claudio Lotito posed thetorically.

“That would take a lot of courage. And not everyone has it,” Lotito bitterly concluded.
