After a 2-1 away win over Udinese, Serie A, with only seven games remaining, is getting closer and closer to the finale. At present, Inter Milan dominates the group with 82 points, 14 points ahead of second-place brothers AC Milan, and in the most favorable situation, they can even celebrate the 20th Serie A trophy in team history in the next round, and at this time, Inter chairman Zhang Kangyang and CEO Marotta have already planned how to improve the team next season.
According to Milan Sports News reporter Stupini, winning the Serie A championship this time will bring direct benefits of up to 50 million euros to Inter Milan. This proceeds are divided into 4 parts. The first is UEFA's €10 million prize money for its league winners. THE ITALIAN FOOTBALL FEDERATION WILL SPLIT 23.4 MILLION EUROS FOR THE ADDITIONAL TV BROADCAST OF THE LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP, INTER WILL RECEIVE 12 MILLION EUROS IN PRIZE MONEY FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP INCLUDING PARAMOUNT, E-BAY, VOLVO, E-POWER AND OTHER CORE SPONSORS, AND 5 MILLION EUROS IN INCOME FROM VARIOUS ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHAMPIONSHIP.
In fact, in addition to the direct income of these champions, this league championship will also bring in some indirect income. Considering that Inter Milan won the championship this time, it is the 20th Serie A trophy in the history of the team, and the jersey will be added with a second star, which is a memorable two-star commemorative edition logo, which will inevitably drive the sale of club jerseys and various peripherals.
It is worth mentioning that Inter and NIKE returned the right to sell peripheral goods to the club as early as 2019, and after 5 years of hard work, Inter's sales last season have exceeded 12 million euros, and this year, under multiple stimuli, the media believes that it is likely to exceed 20 million euros.
In addition to commercial sales, it is also a stand-in for the amount of sponsorship from the operator. IN THE FIRST THREE YEARS, INTER MIL WAS ONLY 10 MILLION TO 12 MILLION EUROS DUE TO THE MALICIOUS ARREARS OF DIGITAL BITS, AS WELL AS THE SPONSORSHIP AMOUNT OF PIRELLI AND PARAMON, AND THE TOTAL INCOME WAS ONLY 20 MILLION TO 25 MILLION EUROS. IN THE NEXT 3 YEARS, BECAUSE OF THE IMPROVEMENT IN PERFORMANCE, IT HAS OBTAINED A FAT CONTRACT FROM BETSSON, AN EMERGING NORDIC ONLINE ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, AND THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT IT WILL EXCEED 100 MILLION EUROS. Considering that Inter's financial gap has been reduced to -40 million euros this season, then next season Inter will have its first profitable season in nearly four years.
In fact, the good news is not only that, next season Inter will also participate in the first Club World Cup, which will bring them a guaranteed income of 50 million euros, and the income of the Champions League will increase by 3% after the restructuring, which is equivalent to Inter Milan's guaranteed income of 20 million euros, and these two events will be at least 70 million euros more than this year. This also explains why Marotta dared to make early salary increases for key players such as Lautaro, Barella, Bastoni and Dimarco.
It is precisely the expected revenue in the future that is very substantial, so this summer, Marotta is likely to use the installment payment, rent-to-buy method to acquire the club's favorite players, despite the lack of cash in hand. According to Miti, Inter's biggest targets for this summer are only two, Canadian striker Jonathan Davy and Torino defender Buffon Giorno.
The former has scored 20+ goals in Ligue 1 for two consecutive years, proving that he is not a flash in the pan, and this summer, whether it is the Premier League giants or La Liga giants, or Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, the demand for strikers is not high, and Bayern and Chelsea also prefer a center forward in the standard sense compared to speed shooters like David. Therefore, Inter Milan is likely to be able to use a transfer fee of less than 50 million euros to acquire this super goalscorer who is concerned about all Europe, after all, his contract will expire in 2025, and if Lille does not let him go this summer, he may fall into a situation of both people and money.
As for Buffongiorno, the new Italy international is also on the radar of AC Milan, who have been very keen to bring in him to replace Kjaer, who left this summer, and they do not trust Kalulu to stand next to Fikayo Tomori along with Gafu and Gabia. This city derby transfer will make Buffon Giorno's value soar to more than 40 million euros.
Fortunately, the recent improvement of Inter's finances and the expected revenue of 150 million euros have allowed them to dare to compete for both deals, at least for now, although they have experienced the pressure of the Oak Group, but Inter Milan, who have successfully retained the ownership of the club, has only one goal in the summer transfer market: to continue to strengthen.
