Former Qatari prime minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani is reportedly among the investors exploring a potential minority stake in Inter Milan, according to Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, as interest grows in the club controlled by US investment firm Oaktree Capital Management.
Al Thani’s family office, Al Mirqab, based in Doha, is reportedly among the parties that have shown interest in the Serie A club. However, discussions with Oaktree are said to remain at a verbal stage, and Al Thani is not the only potential investor considering an opportunity.
Known as HBJ, Al Thani served as Qatar’s prime minister and is a cousin of the country’s current emir. He has maintained a presence in Milan, where part of his family lives, and has recently completed several major property transactions in Italy.
Al Mirqab expands its Italian property portfolio
In April 2026, Al Mirqab acquired an 80% stake in the building at Via Monte Napoleone 8 from French luxury group Kering in a transaction reportedly valued at €1.1 billion.
In June, Al Thani also purchased Villa Certosa from the Berlusconi family for an estimated €350 million. The property is reportedly intended to be converted into a luxury hotel.
Inter’s potential appeal extends beyond the club itself. Alongside city rivals AC Milan, the club is preparing to present plans for a new San Siro stadium, a major development that could reshape the commercial landscape of football in Milan.
Inter reported to be worth up to €2 billion
Inter’s financial performance may also be a factor in investor interest. According to figures cited by Calcio e Finanza, the club recorded a €22 million profit for the 2025–26 financial year, marking its second consecutive year in the black.
Forbes values Inter at approximately €1.5 billion, while Football Benchmark has estimated that the club’s value could be closer to €2 billion.
No agreement has been announced, and the reported discussions do not indicate that a transaction is imminent. Oaktree has controlled Inter since 2024, following the repayment default that led to the transfer of ownership from former majority shareholder Suning.
