There will be no change in the sitaution regarding Inter’s ill-fated main shirt sponsorship deal with DigitalBits despite the fact that the cryptocurrency company have changed CEO.

This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, who report that new CEO Daniele Mensi will stay the course of his predecessor Al Burgio, whilst the newspaper also details why the company’s logo remains on the Nerazzurri’s matchday shirts.

Inter have been massively impacted by the situation with DigitalBits’s sponsorship of their matchday shirt.

Despite the deal having been worth a massive €85 million in total until the end of June 2026, the Nerazzurri are unlikely to receive much or any of the amounts owed, a situation that has been labelled as an “embarrassment” and “farce” for the club.

Badly affected by broader fluctuations in the cryptocurrency industry, DigitalBits have yet to pay any of the three €8 million installements of the €24 million owed for this season.

The Nerazzurri have been considering legal action in response to the situation, who also have a main shirt sponsorship deal with Roma, whilst it is expected that they will have a new shirt sponsor for the start of next season in any event.

Given that Burgio has been replaced by Mensi as the CEO of DigitalBits, there has been plenty of speculation that there could be a new strategy from the company regarding how they handle the situation with Inter.

However, as Tuttosport report, Mensi has always been a part of the company and has only changed his role to CEO rather than being an entirely fresh face, and there is no reason to expect that his arrival will herald anything other than a continuation of their previous strategy.

Meanwhile, the newspaper report that the reason for the cryptocurrency company’s logo staying on the front of Inter’s matchday shirts even despite the debacle that the deal has become is a legal one.

Given that the Nerazzurri could well seek legal action against DigitalBits in the future, the club would want to avoid causing any potential problems by reneging on their own part of the contractual agreement by removing the logo.

As such, proposed ideas such as replacing the company’s logo with that of a charitable organization in January were put on the shelf.
