The short run in the UEFA Champions League will take its toll on the Inter finances, which had greatly benefited from the rich prize money in the past. The Nerazzurri<\/em> will earn about \u20ac60M less than in 2025\/2026, potentially leading to surprising departures, La Gazzetta dello Sport<\/em> informs.<\/p>\n The club is in good financial health, but Oaktree will have to pick a lane between profitability and competitiveness and decide whether they are okay with just breaking even. If the owners mandate generating more money or significantly bolstering the squad, it would have to happen through big sales.<\/p>\n Inter are currently expected to let go of all the veterans on expiring contracts, Yann Sommer, Francesco Acerbi, Stefan De Vrij, Matteo Darmian, and Henrikh Mkhitaryan. They don\u2019t control Denzel Dumfries\u2019 future since he has a \u20ac25M release clause.<\/p>\n The biggest decisions revolve around Hakan Calhanoglu and Marcus Thuram. Galatasaray continue to pursue the former, and he\u2019s about to enter the final year of his contract. The Nerazzurri<\/em> aren\u2019t inclined to offer him a renewal. But he might stay even without it, and then move on naturally in 2027.<\/p>\n The Frenchman and Nicol\u00f2 Barella haven\u2019t been as superb in previous seasons. Cashing in on one of them would solve a lot of things in one fell swoop. They aren\u2019t as untouchable as in the past.<\/p>\n Their true level is probably in the middle between this campaign\u2019s disappointing exit and last year\u2019s overachieving run. The early elimination ended a virtuous cycle that had allowed them to avoid making any sacrifice s. The call comes from above, but they shouldn\u2019t underestimate the power of continuity and the inherent risks of an overhaul.<\/p>\n <\/p><\/div>\nOur Take on Inter<\/h3>\n
