Investcorp’s takeover of Milan has almost been completed and it’ll massively change the dynamic between them and intercity rivals Inter.
The two clubs have worked within the same parameters for a number of years now, both working hard to try and topple Juventus during their dominant period. Both clubs had multiple missteps with their transfer market investments but eventually Inter managed to string together enough to win the Scudetto, even if it ultimately risked the financial security of the club.
Milan now look set to win the Scudetto this season, a sign of their consistent growth over the last few years. They’ve remained close by the Nerazzurri for these years, but the takeover by Investcorp could change this completely.
Media reports seem to believe that the Rossoneri will be given a budget of €300m, allowing them to make significant moves in the transfer market. Inter, on the other hand, are again in a position where they’ll need to sell if they want to buy, meaning stars like Lautaro Martinez or Denzel Dumfries could leave in the summer.
It could also upset the balance in their joint work for a new stadium; the slow bureaucratic process has frustrated both teams and Investcorp may decide to push ahead alone, leaving their intercity rivals in a tough spot.
best news ever I never wanted milan and inter to share a stadium. Its bad enough we share a city with inter.
