Inter’s Finances ‘Devastated’ By COVID-19 & Nerazzurri’s Loan Deal Still Not Secured, Italian Media Report | OneFootball

Inter have still not secured the loan they need to reach the end of the season, according to a report in the Italian media today.

As per Corriere dello Sport’s print edition, the Nerazzurri’s owners Suning need the €250-270 million to complete their payments until June 30 and plan for next season.

Inter’s finances have been ‘devastated’ by the closure of stadiums to all supporters since last summer, the report explained, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is the reason club president Steven Zhang will talk to players this week about the possibility of giving up two months’ wages.

Inter would save €35 million before tax if their players agreed to the cuts, the Rome-based paper explained, and this would be hugely helpful in Suning’s quest to stabilise the club’s finances.

Suning have owned Inter since the summer of 2016 and this is unquestionably their toughest period in charge of the Nerazzurri so far.
