Inter haven’t won absolutely everything in recent years, but they have won most of it. Just think of what their rivals have collected: two league titles and one Coppa Italia for Napoli, just one Scudetto and one Supercoppa for Milan, and only one Coppa Italia for Juventus. 

The report by Football Benchmark has put the strength of the Nerazzurri club into numbers: in just two years, its value has gone from €1.4 billion in 2024 to the current €2.1 billion, opening up a gap over its rivals. The bad news for the opposition is that the worst may still be yet to come.

🔜 Is a new cycle beginning?

Many have asked themselves: is the Double just won without too much difficulty the swan song of a cycle that brought so much success, or could this instead be the start of a new era? 

The truth is that a lot will also depend on their rivals. Because while in these years there has always been a direct challenger for the biggest targets, next season could be different. What is taking shape, in fact, is a scenario in which many of the big clubs — if not all of them — will be at year zero.

Napoli are saying goodbye to Conte and starting again with one of Allegri or Italiano, with Max in pole position; Milan are currently in total chaos; Juventus do at least have the certainty of continuing with Spalletti, but also the blow of failing to qualify for the Champions League, which, as with Milan, will take a big chunk out of the budget.

The only clubs that today, two months before the start of the next league campaign, are certain to continue their respective projects are Roma and Como. Gasperini and Fabregas have gone further than anyone could even have hoped and will have Champions League money to improve their squads. Closing the gap on Inter, however, remains a very ambitious goal...

🤑 How could the transfer market have an impact?

The Nerazzurri’s great strength, as we know, is the club structure. Owners, management, coach and players are all pulling in the same direction, and that is no small detail. Just think of the state Milan are in, or the uncertainty hanging over Turin. 

Having clear ideas already gives Inter an advantage heading into next season, because it allows them to work without the anxiety of having to find a solution in a short time. The playing system is clear, and so are the starters. Anything the transfer market brings will be a bonus, something that will improve a group that — let’s remember once again — has just won two titles and therefore is already competitive. 

That explains why there is a feeling on Viale della Liberazione that they can widen the gap over the others. The motto is clear: if not now, when?
