Inter players will be due a big bonus if they are to finish third in Serie A this season which would in turn secure them qualification to the Champions League according to Corriere dello Sport.

€4 million will be spread across the squad if they finish in third but if they are to somehow pip Napoli to second place, €5.5 million will instead be shared between the team.

These figures were agreed in recently concluded negotiations between the club leadership and players, who had been led by former captain Mauro Icardi. Since losing the captaincy in February, Samir Handanovic took over.

The report from the Roma based newspaper goes on to state that Champions League qualification is absolutely fundamental to Inter’s goals.

Qualifying for the Champions League will see Inter pocket at least €40 million, a sum of money which will help Inter toward having the transfer window that they dream of.

Moreover, the report states that Inter will need to produce capital gains for one final time before exiting their settlement agreement with UEFA. It will be between €30 and €40 million and the final sum required will largely be determined by the league finish and could be affected by other factors including new sponsors.

The latest sponsor is technology company Samsung, who have struck an agreement with Inter’s owners Suning to sell Inter branded merchandise from washing machines to tv’s and mobile phones.
