Inter are set for a tough summer after president Steven Zhang outlined their strategy to the club’s directors, according to a leading Italian broadcaster.
Sky Sport Italia said the Nerazzurri would need to cut costs in order to combat the difficult financial situation created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Zhang guaranteed that Inter’s project would continue under Suning, but the club will need to pursue a ‘policy of radical efficiency’ with regard to all costs.
Inter will even ask their players and staff to make a small contribution – perhaps by taking wage cuts – during a plan of ‘gradual reduction’, which the club believes must be a collective effort.
The Nerazzurri will not be making particular investments in the transfer window, instead looking to balance their books with ‘austerity’ the word of the day.
The club will not hide that their objectives for next season will be linked to how much Inter spend, the report explained, and their first target is to qualify again for the UEFA Champions League with a top four finish.
Zhang has invested more than €800 million into Inter, but in order to move forward calmly there is a need for everyone to make a sacrifice as Inter pursue a sustainable future.
