Three Inter stars who could leave after Champions League exit | OneFootball

Reports in Italy claim that Inter could listen to offers for Marcus Thuram, Denzel Dumfries, and even Nicolò Barella next summer, especially after their early Champions League exit.

The futures of three Inter stars are uncertain following a surprising Champions League knockout play-off exit.

As reported by Repubblica, the Serie A giants’ financial plan for the current campaign included reaching the Round of 16, but their loss to Bodo/Glimt might force them to sell one of their stars to offset the financial loss.

Inter finished the 2024-25 financial year with a €35m profit, and to replicate that result, they should have already sold a top player, Repubblica wrote.

Inter earned €137m from the Champions League last season; this time, they reached €66m, and, obviously, there will be no Club World Cup to allow the Nerazzurri to raise a further €30m.

The Nerazzurri recorded €567m in revenue last season, a record for Italian football.

Which players will leave Inter in 2026?

Inter will surely lower their wage bill over the summer as the likes of Francesco Acerbi, Stefan De Vrij, Matteo Darmian and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are expected to leave at the end of their contracts in June.

Inter, however, might need more than that, and according to Repubblica, the Nerazzurri will likely listen to offers for Thuram, who has an €80m clause in his contract, and Dumfries, who has recently changed his agent.

According to Gazzetta, even Barella’s future is uncertain with the Nerazzurri considering his future after a disappointing campaign.
