After Palestra ultimately left Inter to join Chelsea, many began questioning Oaktree's management approach and decision-making pace as Inter's owner. Paolo Condò addressed this in Corriere della Sera as follows:

「Marotta and Ausilio would have been delighted to secure him. Particularly after Dumfries had to leave, the team needed an even more suitable replacement. But Oaktree's pace is not what top-level football negotiations demand. Given Inter's competitive and financial achievements to date, they should have made up for this. It makes no sense to expect a 21-year-old player to turn down the Premier League. Securing him before an attractive figure like Xavi Alonso makes contact with him would have truly mattered.」

「A similar situation occurred last year. Giovanni Leoni's overnight move to Liverpool happened because Parma's €30 million asking price gave everyone pause. This is how things work in Italy. But international scouts are not fooled by Italy's national team performances. Four players from the 「English system」— Donnarumma, Palestra, Calafiori, and Tonali — will be the backbone of Italy's future team.」
