Inter Milan president Giuseppe Marotta has received assurances from ownership group Oaktree that significant investment is coming this summer, with the club’s transfer budget potentially supercharged by player sales generating as much as €100 million.
According to Tuttosport, Oaktree have made clear to Marotta that he can target a couple of meaningful signings in the upcoming window.
The backing comes at a crucial moment as Inter prepare for one of their most extensive squad rebuilds in recent memory.
The scale of the task is significant.
Multiple players leave when their contracts expire.
Meanwhile, others depart after lengthy cycles at the club come to their natural conclusion.
Rebuilding the roster around Chivu’s vision for next season demands both quantity and quality in the market.
Oaktree Ready To Back Inter & Marotta After Strong Season
The financial firepower available will depend in part on how much Inter raise through outgoings.
Tuttosport report that sales cannot be ruled out that would bring as much as €100 million into the club’s coffers.
Indeed, a figure that would give Marotta genuine room to manoeuvre at the top end of the market.
Bastoni, Thuram, Dumfries, Frattesi and Calhanoglu have all been linked with departures at varying price points.
If several of those moves materialise, Inter’s budget for incomings expands considerably, giving Chivu the tools he needs to reshape the squad in his own image for year two.
Oaktree’s message is clear. The summer will not be business as usual. Significant signings are coming.
