Inter’s first-team squad will cost €40 million more this season than it did last year, according to Gazzetta dello Sport’s online edition.
The Nerazzurri have committed to spending an extra €85 million during the summer transfer market, including wages, amortisation costs and loan deals.
However, the club’s outgoing business, such as the recent sale of Ivan Perisic to Bayern Munich, means the overall increase compared to the 2018-19 campaign is less than half that sum.
“Inter have a bit of wiggle room in this area, considering they have already reached a degree of financial stability,” the report read.
“But they will still benefit from the ‘capital gains’ they have secured, along with the €20 million brought in by selling Yann Karamoh and George Puscas, as well as the growth of other revenue streams.”
Suning have invested a total of €474 million into Inter since completing a takeover in June 2016, considering increases to the club’s capital and subsequent loan agreements with banks.
They have also signed a series of commercial deals, while persuading other Asian business partners to do the same, which were collectively worth €100 million during the 2017-18 season.
“The growth in Inter’s annual turnover, which surpassed €350 million last season, and their capital gains policy has balanced the club’s books and taken them out of their Settlement Agreement with UEFA,” GdS concluded.
