I recommend everyone to read/listen to this series. They are focusing on 1 club in each “Big 5” league - Everton, Barcelona, Inter Milan, Lyon, and Hertha Berlin.
Regarding Inter, their situation is due to a mix of factors.
-
Their Chinese owner got hit by COVID and the geopolitical situation in China. They’re looking to sell and are no longer bankrolling as they used to
-
They got hit hard by COVID with empty stands. Meanwhile Italian the deals have started decreasing in the last 2 tenders.
-
Meanwhile their team costs a huge amount and they have been accumulating yearly losses
-
However, their getting good sporting success, and that’s despite recent cuts. They are ofcourse still a massive “brand”
-
The big objective is a modern stadium, something which doesn’t seem to progress as Milan authorities have protected the San Siro
