Spare No Expenses – Inter Milan Owners Oaktree Ready To Spend Big On Signings This Summer Oaktree Capital are ready to spend big in the transfer market this summer as Inter Milan look to reinvigorate their squad. This according to Italian broadcaster SportItalia, via FCInterNews. The summer transfer window is nearly upon Inter Milan. Advertisement And the Nerazzurri are certainly firming up their plans for the summer. It will undoubtedly be a busy month for Inter. They may not have as much movement as 2023, when twelve players both left and arrived. But nor will this be like last summer. Inter signed a grand total of just four players for the senior team last summer. The priority was keeping the squad together. Oaktree To 'Spare No Expenses' At Inter Milan This Summer MILAN, ITALY – MAY 22: (L-R) CEO Corporate FC Internazionale Alessandro Antonello, Oaktree's Global Opportunities strategy Managing Director Katherine Ralph, Managing Director and Co-Head of Europe for Oaktree's Global Opportunities strategy Alejandro Cano, CEO Sport FC Internazionale Giuseppe Marotta attend a meeting between FC Internazionale new owners Oaktree and Club's Management on May 22, 2024 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Guido) Inter Milan's priority is clear this summer. They want to sign younger players and bring down the high average age of the squad. The number of veteran players in Inter's squad has not stopped them competing on multiple fronts this season. Advertisement However, everyone at the club is well aware that this will not be sustainable for much longer. Therefore, Inter are aiming to skew younger starting this summer. Moreover, reports SportItalia, the Nerazzurri are not going to be focusing on hunting for bargains. In the past few years, Inter have really had to find value in the transfer market. This time out, however, SportItalia report that Inter are ready to identify their top targets. And Nerazzurri owners Oaktree Capital will feel confident in outlaying large transfer fees if it is for the right players.

'Besides being our first partnership in the Saudi Arabia market, this collaboration with Zain KSA also enables us to join forces with a brand that, like Inter, views innovation and care for their community as two fundamental pillars of their growth strategy.' Thanks to this agreement, football fans in Saudi Arabia — and Nerazzurri fans in particular — will be able to use Zain KSA's cutting-edge 5G experience with personalized home packages and special-edition Inter-themed routers. The partnership — a first of its kind for Zain KSA in the Kingdom and in the region — is the latest in a series of innovative initiatives planned by the company to improve people's quality of life and enrich their daily experiences. Zain KSA's Chief Sales Officer Maher Al-Fawaz said: 'This partnership with FC Internazionale Milano aims to promote a culture of sports in the Kingdom in line with our goals to promote a dynamic, connected and vibrant society. This innovative collaboration meets the growing aspirations of football fans in the Kingdom, attracts international clubs to have activities in Saudi Arabia and reflects our commitment to contributing to the empowerment of the sports ecosystem in Saudi Arabia.'
