Inter have moved to quell suggestions that they are unable to meet their financial commitments and have plans in place to pay outstanding costs.
As reported in today’s newspaper edition of La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Nerazzurri have reached an agreement at boardroom level to put funds in place to pay outstanding player wages from July and August of last year and will meet the February 16 deadline.
These wages were initially deferred due to the pause in play in Serie A following the coronavirus outbreak and the Nerazzurri are not looking to push payments back any further than the already agreed date next month. Indeed, sporting director Beppe Marotta confirmed this in a meeting as he sought to reassure the players.
Inter are determined to maintain a financial structure despite suffering wider economic worries and are adamant that there will be little effect on outstanding fees.
Meanwhile, outstanding transfer fees are also structured within the financial plan, including the next instalment of the transfer of wing-back Achraf Hakimi owed to Real Madrid.
Inter reached an agreement with the Spanish club to push back the next payment until March 30 and there is confidence that this will be met.
