Inter’s players have agreed to forego their bonus payments for winning the Serie A title, a report in the Italian media revealed today.
Calciomercato.com said the Nerazzurri’s chief executive Beppe Marotta reached the agreement with the first-team squad when he negotiated deferring player salaries earlier this year.
Inter’s squad refused the idea of wage cuts but they did agree to give up all the additional money they would be due if they won the scudetto this season.
The players’ gesture will help Suning ease the club’s financial difficulties as they look to secure new investment at Inter.
Antonio Conte has created an exceptional team spirit at Inter around values such as sacrifice and unity, and the report argued this was the latest example of that.
Inter need only four points from their last five games to be confirmed Serie A champions, but they could win the title as early as Sunday if they beat Crotone (on Saturday) and Atalanta fail to win at Sassuolo (on Sunday afternoon).
