Inter will still need to raise money from player sales this summer despite leaving their settlement agreement with UEFA, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

The Nerazzurri received the news yesterday to conclude four years of heavy restrictions on the club’s transfer operations, as well as limitations on their European squad lists.

However, they will still have to raise €40 million in capital gains in order to ensure they break even this summer, as all clubs across Europe must do to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.

“These funds will be necessary if Inter wish to compensate for getting rid of Luciano Spalletti, which will cost them €25 million,” Gazzetta reported this morning.

“Inter will have fewer restrictions in the transfer market moving forward: there will be no more UEFA squad list limitations and no restrictions on amortisation.

“However, it’s not as if they can simply spend whatever they want now, because they will still have to respect Financial Fair Play’s core principle of self-sufficiency. You can spend however much you earn, with a maximum loss of €30 million permitted per season.”

Inter’s annual turnover has shot up to €350 million since Suning joined the club in 2016, thanks to a series of commercial deals with companies in Asia.

Their Italian management, meanwhile, has been responsible since 2015 for ensuring Inter met all their intermediary targets as per the settlement agreement, reducing the club’s wage bill and keeping amortisations low.
