QATARIS ARE AFTER INTER: STAKE DEMAND FROM AL MIRQAB

According to Corriere della Sera; a brand new and massive move could soon be added to the increasingly growing Middle Eastern investments in European football in recent years. Inter, the Milan representative who has left its mark on the Italy Serie A stage and experienced championships in recent years, has surprisingly entered the close radar of Qatari investors. Looking at the details that aroused great resonance in the Italian press, the powerful investment fund Al Mirqab, which has direct and tight connections with former Qatar Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim Al Thani, has pressed the button to invest in the Italian giant. Following this development that made a great noise in the football world, the first official contacts between the parties were provided without delay. The current owner Oaktree group, which took over the management of the club due to financial crises, follows a strategy that is completely open to foreign investments in order to strengthen the financial structure of the club and create a sustainable economic order. It is stated that the executives of the Qatari giant fund Al Mirqab sat down at the table with the US-based Oaktree officials in order to take over only a minority stake in the first stage instead of buying the entire club. Although it is stated that these critical preliminary talks held are still at a very early stage, the great interest of the Qataris in the football sector and the massive financial power they have take this partnership possibility to an extremely serious dimension. Italian football fans and supporters who love the navy blue and black colors have started to follow this potential investment move, which can deeply affect the future of the club, with great curiosity. While it is being talked about that the Oaktree group can give the green light to such a strong strategic partnership to increase the global value of the Inter brand, the new meetings to be held between the parties in the coming days are expected to be decisive regarding the share transfer.
