Ball Dropped – ‘Not Oaktree’s Fault’ Inter Milan Directors Chose Numbers Over Needs During Transitional Summer At San Siro | OneFootball

Serie A title hopefuls Inter Milan made several dubious decisions during the summer transfer window.

According to Libero via FCInter1908, the club’s mistakes were not Oaktree’s fault but rather a matter of basic arithmetic.

Indeed, Inter Milan director prioritized numbers over the team’s actual needs.

Therefore, the San Siro giants missed out on several top targets, including Ademola Lookman.

Furthermore, they failed to sign Giovanni Leoni, allowing Liverpool to steal the Italian prodigy under their noses.

Inter never lacked funds, as Oaktree made sure to provide the necessary financial backing.

Instead, it was Beppe Marotta and Piero Ausilio’s practical choices that ultimately left the squad weaker than intended.

However, it’s impossible to be harsh to the Nerazzurri duo after everything they’ve done for the club.

Unfortunately, they failed to meet expectations this summer.

For context, except for Ange-Yoan Bonny and Luis Henrique, Inter failed to sign any of their top targets.

As a result, what was supposed to be a transitional summer turned into a frustrating period of missed opportunities.
