Oaktree takes the first concrete steps after taking possession of Inter. According to reports from Il Giorno and also reported by Calcio e Finanza, the American fund, now the owner of the Nerazzurri club since May 22 after the departure of Steven Zhang and Suning, after introducing themselves to the Italian football institutions, has also made contacts with the leadership of Milan, the city rival club.
Compared to the Chinese management, relations with the Rossoneri should be more relaxed, as Oaktree executives are familiar with Furlani, the Rossoneri club CEO. On the table for discussions, it is also mentioned, is the stadium issue:
In addition to the initial contacts with the sports authorities (Minister Andrea Abodi) and Italian football (Federal President Gabriele Gravina), representatives of the Californian fund Oaktree - engaged for a few days in the new adventure at Inter, the club taken over from the Zhang family - have initiated communications with city rivals Milan.
The fund's executives are familiar with Giorgio Furlani, CEO of the Rossoneri, and in general, the relationship between the two clubs, compared to those between Steven Zhang and Gerry Cardinale, should go in a different direction.
One of the key issues on the table will be the stadium, as in past years the two clubs have worked together for a possible "new San Siro," although difficulties encountered along the way - mainly the constraint on the second ring of San Siro - have led the respective managements to deviate towards a different path.
