Inter set for limited budget on signings in 2026 | OneFootball

The Internacional will have around 8 million dollars (approximately R$ 42 million at the current exchange rate) available to invest in signings throughout 2026, according to information from Correio do Povo. The amount, considered modest for Brazilian football, already has almost half committed to the permanent purchase of striker Johan Carbonero, currently on loan from Racing.

Purchase of Carbonero

The decision to acquire Carbonero, confirmed by technical director Abel Braga, is based on the player's potential for appreciation and market value, especially with the possibility of being called up to the Colombian national team for the 2026 World Cup.

Despite some relationship issues in the locker room, the athlete had important performances at crucial moments of the season, such as in the final of the Gauchão and the final stretch of the Brasileirão, securing key points for the team's stay in Serie A. The player scored eight goals in 38 matches played.

Challenge for Pezzolano

The negotiation with Racing involves a payment of 4 million dollars, to be settled in semiannual installments until 2028. This payment method eases the immediate impact on the cash flow but limits the margin for new investments. With scarce resources, the financial scenario imposes an additional challenge for coach Paulo Pezzolano, who will need creativity and reliance on the youth academy to build a competitive team.
