Inter Milan Destroy Hellas Verona — American Millionaires Come To The Rescue?
The Inter Milan 5–0 demolition of Hellas Verona in only 41 minutes was more than just a massive victory on the pitch for the Nerazzurri.
It was a symbolic turning point in Italian football. As Inter pushes forward in Serie A, a Texas Private Equity Group, Presidio, is making a move and plans to raise €75 million to inject to Verona.
Potentially allowing Presidio to take over the club. If successful, this deal would add Verona to the current 14 Italian clubs owned by U.S. and North American investors.
They would join the likes of AS Roma, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Venezia, Spezia and others.
For Inter fans, this story hits particularly close to home. This as Oaktree Capital has been instrumental in helping the Nerazzurri regain financial stability.
Also to maintain its competitive form, paving the way for recent successes including a strong current position at the top of Serie A.
So, could Hellas Verona — currently languishing at the bottom of the table — turn their fortunes around in the same way?
