Oaktree Capital have reportedly set a spending cap of €25 million per signing at Inter Milan.
This according to the Corriere dello Sport, via FCInter1908. They also report that the Nerazzurri owners want no more than €2 million net per season in wages on new arrivals.
Inter have been fairly active in the summer transfer window.
The Nerazzurri have signed four players. Petar Sucic, Luis Henrique, Ange-Yoan Bonny, and Andy Diouf have all arrived.
These four signings have all been players of a similar age profile. They are young players with significant room for growth.
Furthermore, all have cost in the €20-25 million range, with the exception of Sucic, who reportedly cost around €14 million.
Oaktree Cap Inter Signings At €25M
According to the Corriere dello Sport, this follows a dictate from Inter owners Oaktree.
The North American fund have given Inter license to go after players in their early twenties. And they have authorized expenses of around €25 million.
But anything more than that would require special permission from the owners.
Inter would have been willing to pay more for the likes of Manu Kone or Ademola Lookman. But that was because they saw those players as regular starters.
I worked for private equity firms. They are a cancer to the world. You need to think about how to get rid of your PE owners before anything else.
All you can do is demanding high, but do not accept reality …. Inter total revenue x Running cost = is nearly same, Inter do not have privilege to spending big. If you all want Inter can spending big, then invest your money to Inter, about 50.000 € for 2 year perioid per-Inter registered fans in Inter Club ; then Inter will get healty and able to spending like crazy.
make sense.. since Serie A top team incomes equal to mid table epl teams, maybe this kind of policy make us healthier.
buy less than 25, let go when someone willing to offer 40++.
winning champions league will be history
I was willing to give Oaktree the benefit of the doubt, after they said we’d be invested in this year.
Now with the moves they’ve made (terrible players that are never going to make the grade or will just drag us down)
And if this is even somewhat true, it means we can’t even compete with clubs like como…
Unfortunately – sooner than anybody thought, revolution is required, la segunda stellar already feels a million years ago
sure then we should go down to C2 and what we achieved so far was daydreams; we never reached two CL league finals with aging squad and there was no scudetto celebration in front of milan fans. go support como, mate, fabregas needs you
sucic is class and showed it again today. both Bonny and Henrique are quality with years to grow. I hope you don’t work as a football scout.
What? I thought we had 45mil left from the 70mil budget after we signed Any Diouf?
we have, but we cant spend it on one player, players should cost max 25mlns, so we can afford only the turkish CB, even the alleged rapist cost 30mls so we will not go after him
no that’s wrong.
each player transfer in can’t cost more than $25 million as a base rate without any selales funds topping it up.
but if Inter sells a player for $50 million, then inter can split the $50 million on to players transfers coming in.
So they could top the $25 million up to $75 million or put $25 million on to two transfer which would take two transfers up to $50 million.
