Inter are well on course to clearing their backlog of outstanding payments, as per a report in the Italian media today.

Il Giorno’s print edition confirmed the Nerazzurri had a series of payments to fulfil before Wednesday’s UEFA deadline, in order to secure a licence for European competition.

Inter must pay Real Madrid their outstanding instalment for Achraf Hakimi before March 31, something another report today said they would do without any trouble.

However, the Nerazzurri could also pay their players’ wages for the month of January in the next 48 hours as well.

Inter do not have to hand over the January salaries as part of their UEFA requirements, but it seems they could do so anyway this week.

The players previously agreed with the club to defer the wage payments for November and December of last year until the end of this season.

Inter’s owners Suning, as per a separate report today, are thought to be considering a loan deal with Fortress or Bain Capital to secure short-term investment, while Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund remains interested in purchasing a minority stake in the club.
