Inter: Marotta takes 2% stake, strengthens Oaktree partnership | OneFootball

Giuseppe Marotta further strengthens his bond with Inter. Just over a year after his appointment as president of the Nerazzurri club, the former Juventus and Sampdoria executive has officially become one of the company’s shareholders, acquiring a stake of about 2%.

Inter, Marotta becomes a shareholder: stake close to 2% and strengthened partnership with Oaktree

The news was announced by the club through an official statement highlighting the strategic importance of the operation. This is a significant step that not only reinforces Marotta’s role within Inter’s governance, but also the collaboration with Oaktree, the California-based fund that holds the majority of the capital.

The club’s statement

“Giuseppe Marotta, appointed President of Inter by the shareholders’ meeting on June 4, 2024, has now become a shareholder of the Club with a stake close to 2%,” reads the note released by Inter. “About a year after his appointment as president, both Marotta and the funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management have sought to strengthen their partnership. Marotta’s investment reflects his commitment to the Club and his full alignment with Oaktree regarding the long-term objectives for the benefit of the Club and its continued development.”

A consolidated leadership

With nearly forty years of executive experience, Marotta is considered one of the most authoritative and competent figures in Italian football. For seven years at the sporting helm of Inter, he has helped bring the club back to the top at both national and international levels, ensuring managerial stability and project continuity.

The statement also highlights how the collaboration between Marotta and Oaktree has already led to tangible results in the 2024/25 season, laying the foundations for a multi-year strategic plan aimed at combining sporting competitiveness with financial balance. The recent creation of the Under 23 team is cited as an example of a shared vision focused on sustainable and structured growth.

A sign of unity

With Marotta joining the ranks of shareholders, Inter faces the 2025/26 season with an even more cohesive corporate structure. The convergence of intent among ownership, management, and technical leadership is seen as a key element in tackling the sporting and financial challenges of the coming years.

Although the operation involves a relatively small shareholding, it carries significant symbolic value: Marotta not only leads the club as president, but also chooses to invest directly in the project, demonstrating trust and personal involvement in Inter’s future.
