Oaktree takes over Inter Milan after Chinese owner missed payment
Oaktree Capital Management has taken ownership of Italian soccer champions Inter Milan after a missed payment from the club’s Chinese majority shareholder. The loan granted by Oaktree in 2021 gave them the potential right to take control of the club in case of a default. Oaktree is committed to working with Inter Milan’s current management team and partners. Suning, the Chinese shareholder, had to get an emergency financing package from Oaktree due to financial difficulties. Inter Chairman Steven Zhang warned fans about the club’s stability being at risk. Oaktree’s move is similar to Elliott Management’s takeover of AC Milan in 2018 after a missed payment by the Chinese businessman.
