With the arrival of local time in Italy on July 1, the Serie A summer transfer window has officially opened! At the same time, there are five players whose contracts with Inter have expired on June 30, but there is no official announcement to renew them, which also proves that five players have confirmed their departures, namely Sanchez, Sensi, Odero, Klaassen and Cuadrado. Although there was news at the end of the season, when the parting came, I still had to say goodbye to them!
Sensi, the midfield elf who brought a huge surprise to Inter at the beginning of his joining, made countless Inter fans think that he was about to become the next international midfield master, but because of injuries, his talent and ability were destroyed, and he finally ended up injured Zhongyong. Alexis Sanchez, who attracted the attention of Inter Milan when he was at Udinese, but joined from Manchester United after many years, and Inter also saved the Chilean star who was under the curse of the Red Devils, and the five trophies are the best example of the mutual achievement of the two sides!
Odero, Cuadrado and Klaassen have all only been with Inter for one year and have not left much of a mark, but Inter have also added to their careers with two trophies! Thank them for their contribution to Inter and wish them all the best in their future careers!
In addition, three new developments have been made today, at different levels for the team, the manager and the players.
At the team level, Inter Milan officially announced a new main sponsor Betsson Sport (Betsson Sports), with a contract of 4 years and a sponsorship fee of 30 million euros per year, totaling 120 million euros, whether it is a single annual sponsorship fee or a total sponsorship amount, it is the highest sponsorship contract in the history of Inter Milan!
This is also the first time in the history of the Inter team that the main sponsorship fee income has entered the 30 million euro mark, which is an important symbol of the huge increase in the commercial value of the team! You know, the most impressive main sponsor in Inter's history is probably Pirelli, and the two sides have worked together for a total of 26 years. However, although the cooperation between the two sides is quite successful, the amount of sponsorship money received by Inter Milan is not high, and it does not exceed 15 million euros at the peak, and most of the time it is less than 10 million euros. Subsequently, Suning successively chose two sponsors, the blockchain company Socios.com and the virtual currency company DigitdlBits, although the former received 20 million euros normally, but the latter's arrears of sponsorship fees brought more than 30 million euros in capital losses.
Last season, Inter had to use Paramount for a year of transition, and although the sponsorship fee of 15 million euros is not much, the cooperation between the two sides on Star Trek, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers and other co-branded jerseys is a classic, which also makes Inter earn a lot of money in jersey sales.
Now, Inter Milan has finally found a reliable sponsor company, allowing the team to earn a good commercial income!
At the coach level, Inzaghi Jr.'s contract renewal has made significant progress! Inzaghi is still on vacation and will return to Appiano after 10 days to start preparing for the new season. Although the two sides have not yet reached a full agreement on the renewal of the contract, they have a strong common desire to continue working together and will reach an agreement before the start of summer training. Inter will renew Inzaghi's contract until June 2026, possibly with a one-year extension option and a possible annual salary of €700-7.5 million, which would make Inzaghi the highest-paid manager in Serie A after tax.
However, if you think about it, little Inzaghi fully deserves such treatment! In the three seasons of Inter Milan, he has led the team to win a total of 6 championships in 1 Serie A, 2 Serie Cups and 3 Italian Super Cups, and led the team to the Champions League final. Moreover, not only are the results good, Inzaghi Jr. has also earned a lot of real money for Inter!
In terms of open source, there is a high amount of event income, and the annual guaranteed Champions League group qualification and the one-year Champions League final bring more than 200 million euros to the team, and the ticket revenue is calculated separately, and it also helps the team to enter the new Club World Cup, which is also a guaranteed income of 50 million euros! In terms of throttling, it is a very low operating cost, Inzaghi Jr. never asks for big-name reinforcements, but is committed to making good use of the resources provided by the management, and in his three years in charge, Inter Milan's transfer funds are even profitable!
So, I'm still looking forward to the fourth season of our partnership!
At the player level, according to media reports such as the football market and Miti, Inter will communicate with Dumfries' agent after the match between the Netherlands and Romania to discuss the renewal of the contract. The biggest reason for the relaunch was Dumfries' change in attitude, as he revisited his request and was willing to take a step back.
Previously, Dumfries had insisted on an annual salary of 5.5 million euros for contract renewal, which led to an impasse in contract renewal negotiations. Inter Milan is willing to offer a 2+1-year contract with an annual salary of 4 million euros, which is also an offer that the team has insisted on before, and the prospects for the renewal of the contract between the two sides are optimistic.
If Dumfries really renews his contract as he wishes, this will definitely be a good thing for Inter! The 28-year-old Dumfries is still in the prime of his career, and at the beginning of last season, he improved significantly on the technical level, and at one point he and Dimarco played with two wings!
However, due to contract extensions, injuries and other factors, the state began to fluctuate, but it was still able to provide lower limit support at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends in important games such as the Milan derby. His stay will allow the team to save money on reinforcements that can be used in more urgently needed positions such as the forward line or defence.
In addition, there is also positive news about the whereabouts of Correa. According to the news of the national news network, Argentina River Plate originally intended to bring in Correa, but it was difficult to meet Inter's asking price and Correa's salary requirements, so the deal could not be carried out. However, Correa's attitude has also changed, and he is willing to join the Saudi league to pan for gold. In fact, in the summer window last year, there were Turkish Super League teams who wanted to bring in Correa, but he did not plan to leave the mainstream European football and could only end up on loan at Marseille for one season.
But after a season of 0 goals and 0 assists at Marseille, Correa may already know that his ability is no longer suitable for the requirements of the top five leagues, so he chose to give in to money. The 29-year-old former Argentine international should still have a certain market in the Saudi league, and it depends on the final operation of the Saudi agent who visited the Inter headquarters two days ago, hoping to bring good news!
