Potential Qatari investment in Inter Milan

Overview

A Qatari fund linked to the Al Thani family has initiated preliminary contacts with Oaktree Capital Management to explore a potential investment in the Italian football club Inter Milan.

Initial reports indicated that the interest was being explored via Oaktree, which took control of the club in 2024. While Oaktree has expressed satisfaction with its current position and does not intend to relinquish control, the entry of a minority shareholder could provide capital for development projects, such as a proposed new stadium in Milan.

Subsequent reports identified the interested party as the Qatari family office Al Mirqab, led by Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani, a former Prime Minister of Qatar. Discussions between Al Mirqab and Oaktree are described as being in a preliminary, verbal stage rather than formal negotiations. This potential move follows Al Mirqab’s existing real estate acquisitions in Italy, including a luxury building in Milan and a former residence in Sardinia. This interest mirrors a previous attempt in 2023 by the Sheikh’s son to invest in the club during its ownership by Suning.
