Inter Milan New Stadium Project To Play Fundamental Role In Ongoing Talks Between Suning & Oaktree Capital

The New stadium project could be elemental in the current negotiations between Inter Milan owners Suning and Oaktree Capital.

The Chinese company risks losing control over the club by the 20th of May 2024 if they fail to settle their debt.

Suning loaned 275 million euros from Oaktree to cover the club’s operational costs back in May 2021.

Hence, they must either repay the loan along with the interest rate in due time or relinquish their hold over Inter.

Nevertheless, the Chinese group has been trying to spare itself this fate by negotiating an alternative solution.

But as we reported yesterday, Oaktree would only grant Suning a deadline extension if they were to offer the right guarantees.

In today’s edition of Tuttosport (via FcInterNews), this theory is further confirmed.

But even if Suning are likely to default, Oaktree would like the club to maintain a solid balance sheet.

Therefore, the source believes that the new stadium project could play a pivotal role in this regard.

The US-based investment company would like Inter to own its own stadium.

New Inter Milan Stadium To Play Major Role In Negotiations Between Suning & Oaktree

This could either be a new ground in the Rozzano region, or reviving the San Siro project.

Milano mayor Giuseppe Sala has been working on a plan to keep Inter and Milan at the Giuseppe Meazza.

His renovation project would eventually culminate with the ground’s ownership transmitted to the two clubs.

As Oaktree sees it, owning a stadium would boost the club’s value and increase its assets.
