Inter, Massimo Moratti goes down flat on ownership change

Inter at Oaktree: Massimo Moratti speaks out

During an intervention at the microphones of the "Corriere della Sera", former Inter president Massimo Moratti spoke bluntly about the transfer of ownership from Zhang to the American fund Oaktree. 

"I am so sorry. I have esteem for Zhang, he tried very hard to do well and he did a very good job because he won two championships and a lot of trophies. He è did not manage to cover all the debts he è created for Inter, not that he spent the money on his own business and this aspect should not be forgotten. At the helm of the club è he has grown into a true president" began the'former patròn of the Azzurri.

"The fact that a fund has almost infinite assets does not necessarily mean that it is a "quality" positive. I mean from the fan’s point of view, Inter for Oaktree will not represent the priority of their interests, but will only be one of several assets they manage. One cannot know whether this will be a problem, forò we perceive a certain security in the management chain, so we can only have confidence in them" added the former president of the meneghini.

"I do not know what will happen" with the renewals of Lautaro and Barella, for" the problem with this new corporate framework è the inability" to predict tomorrow. Once the situation comes back under control I am sure that contacts will resume, as they are two key elements for Simone Inzaghi" concluded Massimo Moratti.
