Marotta outlines Inter’s transfer strategy: ‘No capacity’ for big spending | OneFootball

Inter president Giuseppe Marotta has ruled out making major investments in star players on the transfer market, instead underlining the need to ’embrace sustainability’.

With several departures expected and reinforcements needed, the Nerazzurri are set for an active summer transfer window. New owners Oaktree reportedly favour a strategy focused on young talents who can ensure short-term competitiveness while also providing long-term financial returns.

For example, Inter have recently been heavily linked with Como’s Nico Paz, but their pursuit of top Serie A prospects may also require offloading key players to maintain financial stability.

Marotta drops hints on Inter’s summer transfer market

“We must be flexible and understand the historical moment Italy is going through,” Marotta said in an interview with Sky Sport Italia.

“Clubs need to be shaped in relation to the socio-economic model of European football.

“There is no longer the financial capacity to spend heavily on a single player, so we must be smart in building a strong and competitive team while embracing sustainability. Sustainability is a goal that must always be pursued and maintained.”
