Inter’s owners Suning have invested €567 million into the club since buying a majority stake from Erick Thohir in 2016, according to Calcio e Finanza.

The Chinese consortium increased the Nerazzurri’s capital by €142 million when they completed their takeover but have since added a further €336 million in business loans.

Suning have brought in more than €115 million through a series of sponsorship deals, including €22 million in the 2018-19 financial season which ends on Sunday.

Inter’s annual turnover has risen to €370 million and will surpass the €400 million mark when they complete their ‘capital gains’-related sales before 30 June.

“Inter’s growth has raised expectations among supporters, who have responded by selling out the club’s season tickets by the end of June,” the website concluded.

“Now they expect the club to deliver some big signings in the transfer window.”

Inter are close to securing deals for Valentino Lazaro, Stefano Sensi and Edin Dzeko, but the Nerazzurri are also pursuing Romelu Lukaku and Nicolo Barella as July approaches.
