Inter will cash in around €4million for the Asian tour, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Nerazzurri will play four games in nine days (Schalke 04, Lyon, Bayern and Chelsea) for a tour-de-force that has not exactly made Luciano Spalletti happy.
“Every match is worth coin, with the Premier teams to take most of that because they have more fans and sell more merchandise,” the paper says.
We always perform bad in these games. It is not a good promotion of Inter. Last years was a disaster. Hopefully this year they will do better.
FM : “Shirt sales boosted by Nagatomo arrival.”
Inter are very popular in China, so this tour makes sense financial wise. It’s not like one week of tactical session will make a big difference, especially when the mercato is still open and the squad is far from finalized.
That’s dumb. If we do well, our players price go up significantly. Just increase in the value of Jao Mario for example, if we finish top 3 would be more than 4m.
Spaletti said he needed couple of more sessions to work with his team. If I was the owner, I would have canceled the tour and give the coach ample of time to work his tactics.
i agree with you.
Really? You want to pass up on sure 4M for one week of tactical sessions with players going in and out during mercato? I don’t know how much you make, but 4M is a lot of money.
I am with you John
