U.S. investment firm Oaktree Capital Management has invested a total of 47 million euros (approximately $52 million) into Inter Milan, as announced by the Italian soccer club on Wednesday during the presentation of their financial results. Oaktree acquired the Serie A team in May following a missed 395 million euro payment from its previous majority owner in China.
Inter Milan noted that this investment signifies Oaktree’s commitment to the club’s financial stability and operational success, aimed at maintaining high performance both on and off the field. Of the total investment, 44 million euros came directly from Oaktree, with an additional three million euros raised through the conversion of existing loans. This capital influx was executed in the first quarter of the 2024-2025 fiscal year.
The club reported a reduced loss of 36 million euros for the fiscal year 2023-2024, down from 85 million euros the previous year, attributing the improvement to increased revenue driven by better sporting results that enhanced their commercial income. Inter Milan highlighted that their summer transfer activities were balanced with the goal of acquiring top-tier talent while also focusing on sustainable growth and success.
