Inter Milan made a massive step toward winning their 21st Scudetto on the stroke of March’s international break.
According to Calcio e Finanza via FCInterNews, there’s more than just bragging rights at stake in an intense Serie A title battle.
Goals from Carlos Augusto and Lautaro Martinez inspired Inter to a 2-0 win at third-placed Atalanta last Sunday.
Meanwhile, runners-up Napoli drew 0-0 at Venezia, allowing the Nerazzurri to open up a three-point gap at the top.
Therefore, Simone Inzaghi has positioned himself perfectly to win back-to-back league titles.
Inter Milan to Reap Financial Reward from Winning Scudetto
It’s more than just prestige.
While closing the gap on Juventus in the all-time charts pleases everyone at the San Siro, there’s also a financial aspect.
Indeed, Serie A awards 11.2% of the prize money to the 20 clubs based on their final season placement.
However, the Italian champion should earn around €18.7 million, while the runners-up take home €15.7m.
Finally, third-placed finishers should collect €13.5m.
As such, Beppe Marotta & Co must be rubbing their hands.
