After a series of heavy punches by Britain against Abramovich and Chelsea, the world was in an uproar.
Among all the sports teams, Inter Milan is a team with special feelings, and Inter's perception of Chelsea's experience is subtly different from that of fans of other teams.
According to a number of sources, the tragedy at Chelsea will affect Inter's future short-, medium- and long-term business plans, and at the same time, it will also strengthen the belief in the strategic adjustment of the team.
In the short term, Inter are currently most worried about the follow-up payment of Lukaku's transfer fee.
Inter's official financial report shows that Lukaku's transfer fee of 113 million euros has been received by Inter at present (a down payment of 18.7 million yuan, the subsequent balance paid in 12 months, as of September 30, there are still 50 million euros left to pay), only part of which has not been received.
Due to the sanctions imposed on Chelsea, the purpose is to "prevent any money from flowing to Abu" and will not limit the payment liability that has been signed before; due to the Lukaku transaction, there are third-party institutions as guarantees, and if there is a problem, the third party will chase Chelsea to collect debts... As a result, Inter remain optimistic about receiving the full amount of the follow-up transfer fee.
However, Chelsea are currently in a chaotic situation, with travel expenses on away games limited to less than £20,000, and Inter must also be prepared for the possible delay in the entry of these funds.
Sky Platform expert Romano pointed out: "Inter Milan is paying close attention to chelsea's situation, not only based on Lukaku's problem, but also because Marotta judged that Chelsea's turmoil will have a very big impact on the European market in the summer, and it is necessary for the Nerazzurri to keep an eye on it and see if they can seize the opportunity." ”
In the medium term, Inter will increase their efforts to sell players in the summer to withdraw funds and reduce the financial burden.
Soon Inter will play against Turin, Turin is Inter's most sincere buyer of loan striker Pinamonti, the two teams will take the opportunity to talk, Inter psychological price is 20 million euros can be sold, as well as vouchers.
Others, such as Besino, Vidal, Sanchez and others, were purged at the end of the season to reduce their financial burdens have been in the news for months.
The new news is that the German newspaper Bild pointed out that Bayern must buy right players in the summer, Dumfries has also become one of bayern's hand-picked choices, and the Nerazzurri are interested in selling for the price. Defrey, owned by the same agent, is also a popular person to transfer money.
In short, Inter currently has blood exchange pressure, some of the purchase objects, but in the summer ball market, the Blue and Black Army will still "sell first and then buy", "financial slimming" as the first.
In the long run, Chelsea's turmoil will make Inter adhere to the established principle: in the current situation, do not give the team a cash "blood transfusion".
A few years ago, the Zhang family generously donated money to Inter, investing in the Nerazzurri in various ways to help the team's competitive strength continue to improve.
However, in recent years, because of Suning's own problems and because the epidemic has hit the global economic situation, in the past 2-3 years, Chinese bosses have no longer supported the team in cash.
According to the previous statement, this is only temporary, waiting for the epidemic to pass, getting through the difficulties, and perhaps the situation will improve.
But now, the situation has changed subtly.
The storm of Abramovich proved to the world that the so-called "sports without borders" is nothing more than nonsense, and once the situation changes, the West is ready to tear off the disguise and have no bottom line.
In such a situation, the possibility of continuing to support Inter with real money and silver is even lower.
This is also the reason why Inter continues to "reduce the financial burden" as the number one goal, the Chinese boss has no intention of "sucking blood" from the team, but under the current situation, it is inevitable that there will be various worries about continuing to invest and spend money.
When the author communicated with the relevant person in Nanjing, the other party said: "It is the general direction to let Inter become a team that does not rely too much on the capital injection of major shareholders in recent years." As for whether to sell Inter? As long as the timing and conditions are right, then... Look at it".
In summary, after the Lie of "Sports Without Borders" in the West has been completely torn apart, when the tragedy of Chelsea has made Inter also feel concerned, Inter Milan, which Chinese control, will naturally continue to adjust its plans due to changes in the situation.
It is foreseeable that the future of Inter Milan will be full of variables.
