The accountants of Inter are smiling at the moment. That because we are only a month and a half into the season and already Inter have €54 million in revenues. La Gazzetta dello Sport explains: “Already 20% of the budget incomes can be accounted for, this of course Inter can thank the UCL for.”

To sum things up, the season could not have started better: “Now it is not only all about the spectators, and the difference reads the UCL something that will have a great effect on next year’s budget on June 30th, 2019, even though worst thing should happen and Inter would fail to qualify to the UCL.

“The “Disneyland” of football has been generous: Already by qualifying at the end of last season Inter got €38.9 million, in addition to that €5.4 million thanks to the two victories against Tottenham and PSV Eindhoven. Qualifying for the knockout-stage would mean another €9.5 million. When it comes to spectator revenue, Inter has so far earned €10 million on the 5 home games. And there you have it, approximately €54 million. And do not forget that the next two home games will be against Milan and Barcelona, bringing in about €5 million for each game. All of that money will let Inter seek new partnerships as well as new signings where Zhang could go for such players that are impossible to sign today.”
