Progression to the Champions League knockout stages is worth at least €30 million to Inter, a report in today’s print edition of Gazzetta dello Sport.
Inter head into the final two Champions League matches knowing that they have to win both if they wish to have a chance at reaching the knockout stages of the competition.
The report goes on to explain that club leaders have postponed a meeting which would see them discuss the upcoming January transfer window until the team’s Champions League fate is known.
The money Inter would earn from progression, which would also include bonuses from sponsors, will make a real difference with the Milanese newspaper stating that the money Inter would earn would be the difference between the Nerazzurri signing Dejan Kulusevski over someone like Udinese’s Seko Fofana for the midfield.
In short, it is absolutely essential for Inter to make it past the group stage if they wish to go after their preferred targets in January.
