Suning, the owner and major sponsor of the Inter training tops, today published their financial report on the first six months of 2018.

For this time period, the operating profit of the Nanjing-based company was equivalent to approximately €29 billion euros – an increase of 32.29% compared to their profit over the same time period in 2017. Throughout this time, the volume of sales reach a sum of almost €20 billion.

Before Interisti get too excited, this will not directly translate to extra spending by the club. It is, however, even further evidence that Suning are a serious organisation with a strong financial management strategy.

Whilst still being under strict UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules, the Zhang family has significantly strengthened the team on the field, whilst also agreeing a number of new sponsorship deals which greatly increase the financial standing of the club as a whole. Indeed, the financial future is looking positive for Inter.
