May 27, 2024 - Inter Milan CEO
Marotta (name)
In an interview with DAZN, he thanked former chairman Zhang Kangyang and talked about the new owner, Oak Tree Foundation.
Due to Zhang Kangyang's failure to repay the loan as scheduled, Oaktree Foundation gained control of FC Inter Milan. Marotta first expressed his gratitude to Zhang Kangyang: "Zhang Kangyang is very enthusiastic, he has been this Inter
of a loyal fan. I hope he will continue to follow our future games and journey. At the same time, I welcome the new owner, who has provided us with full reassurance."
Marotta went on to address the topic of Inter captain Lautaro's contract renewal: "When you negotiate with players, salary is of course a key issue. The renewal negotiations have not been frozen, but we have had to slow them down due to formalities, which is normal at the moment. But the outlook is definitely reassuring because the basis is that the player is very keen to remain with us and this principle provides reassurance."
Marotta said, "The Oak Foundation's entry into the club has now been officially announced. On behalf of the entire Inter family, I would like to thank the Zhang Kangyang family for their dedication and, most importantly, for their contribution to winning seven trophies. I have spoken to the executives of the Oak Foundation and I am very calm. The idea is very clear at the moment, this is not a temporary ownership, they want to create a development plan for this club and bring sustainability. They trust the current management of the club, which is no small thing. I believe we can continue to move forward towards important goals."
