Inter misses out on Palestra to Chelsea amid ownership struggles

Inter Milan missed out on signing Marco Palestra, who is set to join Chelsea in a deal reportedly worth €60m. Following weeks of negotiations, reports indicate that Inter's ownership, rather than its directors, is primarily to blame for the failure to complete the transfer. Palestra, viewed as a key addition to replace Denzel Dumfries, had expressed interest in joining Inter. Despite the management setting aside €50m for the deal, additional revenue generation from player sales was required. Journalists suggest that better financial readiness could have secured Palestra weeks earlier, preventing Chelsea from outbidding Inter.
