Inter’s title-winning week: legal clarity, a fresh referee, and Oaktree’s rebuild plan

Off the pitch, the Scudetto keeps getting sharper

Inter may already be crowned Campioni d’Italia, but the noise around the club hasn’t stopped. The good news: lawyer Cesare Grassani has poured cold water on the arbitration inquiry that briefly dragged the Nerazzurri into the headlines, stressing there is no real risk for Inter or its executives.

That matters because champions should be talking about football, not courtroom drama. With 85 points and a huge gap on Napoli, Cristian Chivu’s side can keep its focus where it belongs: on finishing the season with the same authority they’ve shown all year.

Calzavara gets the whistle for Inter-Verona

Sunday’s Serie A meeting with Hellas Verona will be handled by Andrea Calzavara, making his San Siro debut in charge of the fixture. It’s an appointment that adds a layer of curiosity, but Inter’s task remains simple: keep the momentum rolling and avoid letting the finale become a formality.

At this stage, the match is less about the standings and more about standards. Chivu has already built a reputation for intensity and control, and this is exactly the kind of home game where a champion shows it can stay hungry even after the trophy is secured.

Oaktree’s reset and the club’s next step

The other major thread is the club’s internal renewal. The message from the ownership side is clear: Inter are not standing still after the double, and there is already talk of a significant budget to refresh the squad and keep the cycle moving forward.

That strategic point is crucial. Add in the crackdown on counterfeit Inter merchandise in Termini Imerese, and you get the bigger picture: this is a club protecting both its sporting project and its brand. The Nerazzurri are winning on the pitch and tightening the structure around it — exactly what a modern giant must do.

Now the question for Inter fans is simple: with the title wrapped up and the rebuild already taking shape, which area should Oaktree strengthen first — depth in midfield, a new attacking option, or long-term defensive succession?
