Finances Illustrate Heated Battle Between Inter Milan & Napoli Ahead Of Serie A Clash | OneFootball

Inter and Napoli meet on the pitch with the Scudetto race in the balance, but their off-field realities paint a very different financial picture.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInter1908, the economic gap between the two clubs remains substantial despite Napoli’s recent domestic success.

Inter closed the last season with a record €545 million in revenues, excluding player trading, the highest ever recorded in Italian football.

More than a third of that figure came from their Champions League run to the final, underlining the Nerazzurri’s global standing.

Napoli, by contrast, dropped to €180 million in 2024-25 after missing out on European competition, down sharply from previous seasons.

The breakdown highlights the contrast.

Inter generated €264m from TV rights, €142m commercially and €99m from matchday income, while Napoli posted €77m from TV, €68m commercially and just €24m from the stadium.

Even projecting a more “normal” European season for both, the gap would still sit at around €200m in Inter’s favour.

Spending tells a different story.

Napoli currently outlay more on their squad overall, driven by heavier amortisation costs following major transfer investments.

Inter, instead, have focused on controlling wages and amortisation, reaching their first-ever profit thanks to booming international revenues.

Two models, one title race, and a financial imbalance that remains stark.
