Inter Milan are aiming to have a new main shirt sponsor identified by the start of preseason.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews, who report that the Nerazzurri are working in negotiations with several potential sponsors and have a specific timeline in mind.
Among the many issues that Inter are dealing with off the pitch is the question of a main shirt sponsor.
Over the last two matches of the season, streaming service Paramount+ had their logo on the Nerazzurri’s shirt. This notably included the Champions League final against Manchester City.
That was only a temporary solution, however.
Inter will certainly still want to find a new permanent main shirt sponsor for next season. It will be a vital source of revenue for the club, particularly considering how last season went on the shirt sponsor front.
For more than a month last season, Inter played without a main shirt sponsor.
This came after the decision to remove the logo of cryptocurrency company DigitalBits. The Nerazzurri and Roma both removed the company’s logo due to issues with nonpayment of amounts owed this season.
This was nothing short of a debacle for the Nerazzurri.
Inter In Talks With Several Companies As Potential New Main Shirt Sponsor
Now, the Nerazzurri are aiming to get a final agreement in place for a long-term replacement for the ill-fated DigitalBits.
All of Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, LeoVegas, Binance, and Hisense are currently in the frame, according to Tuttosport.
The talks are continuing, though Inter have a clear idea of when they want to wrap them up.
The Nerazzurri want to have a new sponsor identified by the start of their preseason. They will certainly want things all done by the time they begin their tour of Japan next month.
Meanwhile, Paramount+ will have their logo remain on the Nerazzurri’s shirt. However, it will be moved to the back of the shirt from the front, replacing Lenovo.
