Inter Milan Would Have To Make Painful Summer Sale If They Fail To Qualify For UCL R16 In Bodo/Glimt Second Leg | OneFootball

Inter Milan’s 3-1 first leg defeat to Bodo/Glimt has left the club in serious danger of a Champions League exit that could carry significant financial consequences heading into the summer transfer window, according to Tuttosport.

The Nerazzurri earned over €185 million from their Champions League campaign last season.

Indeed, a windfall that proved instrumental in helping the club post a profit of €35.4 million.

And draw a line under years of damaging financial losses.

Including a record deficit of €246 million in 2020-21.

Inter Milan Could Miss Out On €60M+ If They Fail To Progress Past Bodo/Glimt

Failing to reach the last 16 this time around would represent a shortfall of over €60 million compared to twelve months ago.

Therefore, a gap that could prove very difficult to absorb, as per Tuttosport, via FCInter1908.

Oaktree have already earmarked substantial funds for summer investment.

Indeed, with a new goalkeeper, at least one defender, a winger should Dumfries depart, and one or two midfielders all on the wishlist.

Without the full weight of Champions League revenue behind them, however, those ambitious plans may need to be reassessed.

Furthermore, for the first time since the Covid-era sales of Hakimi and Lukaku, Inter could find themselves under pressure to sell a high-profile player simply to balance the books.
