Oh I wondered how some teams managed to get players, to be fair though there has been improvements in Italian teams in Europe the past few seasons.

Same way Barca gets deal done

This are invisible numbers

And Barca is deep in debt too, I just had no idea Italian teams were in the same boat

I recommend everyone to read/listen to this series. They are focusing on 1 club in each “Big 5” league - Everton, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Lyon, and Hertha Berlin.

Regarding Inter, their situation is due to a mix of factors.

  • Their Chinese owner got hit by COVID and the geopolitical situation in China. They’re looking to sell and are no longer bankrolling as they used to

  • They got hit hard by COVID with empty stands. Meanwhile Italian the deals have started decreasing in the last 2 tenders.

  • Meanwhile their team costs a huge amount and they have been accumulating yearly losses

  • However, their getting good sporting success, and that’s despite recent cuts. They are ofcourse still a massive “brand”

  • The big objective is a modern stadium, something which doesn’t seem to progress as Milan authorities have protected the San Siro

Just a reminder, its not as sour as the post makes it out to be. Inter is in a fairly solid state, where they can now focus on getting the new stadium project going, where they dont need to sell important players and can hold important players like Barella and Lautaro.

Sure, they still need to be smart about projects and contracts but this article reads like Inter is on the brink of colapsing and its only a matter of seconds until they have to file for bankcrupcy.

In the end, Inter will most likely get a new owner who will pay their debts, since Suning cant at the moment.

Well it all depends on the new owner. It's not given that the new owner is willing to continue spending and keeping the wage structure like that.

Tbh Inzaghi + Inters recruitment team recently have been keeping this time bomb from going off. Most of their key players theyve gotten for free or for sensible transfer fees
