Inter and Milan will play out all-American Derby della Madonnina | OneFootball

With Oaktree now taking control of Inter, the next Milan derbies will be all-American affairs for the first time in history.

The US fund took control of the Nerazzurri on Wednesday, confirming their takeover in a statement following Steven Zhang and Suning’s failure to pay back €395m in debts as a result of a loan taken out back in May 2021.

Oaktree touched on their ambitions with Inter in their statement, wanting to build strong foundations at the club following the Suning era. Many expect the US fund to quickly start looking for a buyer, but the process won’t be too quick.
