Inter Milan s economic and competitive accounts cannot be calculated separately, and the team may become a victim of the Oak!

After the results of the Champions League draw in the previous two days, I took a look at Inter Milan's guaranteed Champions League prize money. At that time, an old man said: Have you started to settle the score at the beginning of the season?

In fact, this is a necessary skill for many Nella. Inter Milan fans also have a nickname called "accounting" fan. Mainly since almost 2020, the Nerazzurri has lived too long. At the most difficult time, even the electricity bills of the training base were arrears, which led to Inter Milan fans developing the habit of being careful in budgeting. Whether it is player transfer, participating in events or commercial sponsorship, the first reaction of many Nera is how much cost and how much profit is?

The summer transfer window has officially come to an end. Inter Milan has no possibility of signing in the first half of the season. So let’s systematically calculate the accounts and see how the team’s operating results are in this summer window.

Since it is a summer window, let's calculate the transfer cost first. Under the idea of ​​"maintaining the stability of the main framework and promoting the younger lineup", the management began to sign up operations, spending a total of 92.7 million euros to introduce five new players, Boni, Enrique, Diouf, Susic and Akanji. By selling Zalevsky, Buchanan, Taremi, Stankovic brothers, Satriano, and renting Paval and Aslani, they earned a total of 48 million euros. In this way, Inter Milan's net investment in signings in the summer window reached 44.7 million euros, ranking third in Serie A after Cuomo and Juventus.

If the salary cost is calculated, Inter Milan cleaned up three forwards, Taremi, Correa and Arnautovic during the summer window, saving a total of 17 million euros in salary cost, and renting Aslani and Paval also made room for 9.3 million euros. The annual salary cost of four new players, Boni, Enrique, Diouf and Susic, is 14.8 million euros, while renting Akanji requires the other party's annual salary of 5 million euros, which is 9.25 million euros, and the annual salary of other people has not changed. In comparison, Inter Milan's overall salary cost has changed from 141.69 million euros last season to 141.5 million euros this season, with almost no change, and is still higher than Juventus 123 million euros, Naples 114.7 million euros and AC Milan 104.5 million euros.

But if the total cost of team building is calculated, Inter Milan's ranking will drop to fourth place. This is mainly because the total price of the team's introduction of the recruitment is relatively low. The highest Enrique and Boni are only 23 million euros, while the others are even less than 20 million euros. They sign 5-year contracts, which are only a few million euros amortized each season. Of course, the most important thing is that Cialhanolu, Bisek, Mkhitaryan, Zelinski and others are all joining in front of them. The total transfer fee of Sommer, Archerby, Damian and others is only a few million euros, which greatly reduces the team's amortization expenses. Overall, Inter Milan's total amortization of only 53.23 million euros in the new season, and the total cost of team building calculated by salary is 195 million euros, which is lower than Naples's 249 million euros, Juventus's 235 million euros and AC Milan's 197 million euros in fourth place.

There is also data. According to German statistics, Inter Milan's current lineup is 707.8 million euros, while the total cost of introducing these players is 286.9 million euros, and the difference between the middle is 420.9 million euros, far higher than Naples' 107.35 million euros, Juventus' 93.55 million euros, and AC Milan's 90.2 million euros. On the one hand, this is due to the team's visa-free policy in the past few years, which saved a large amount of transfer fees. On the other hand, it is also closely related to the team's outstanding record and promoting the significant appreciation of players' value.

Why do we have to settle so many accounts? Because I think Inter Milan's summer signings this year are all transactions completed under the premise of "calculating the economic accounts"!

Except for Akanji, who joined the buzzer-beating team in the end, although other new players from Inter Milan have different positions, their characteristics are very consistent: they are young, have low transfer fees, low salary, and have potential. After these characteristics are combined, the players will definitely not be very capable at present. They are semi-finished products in the transfer market. Inter Milan does the job of "incoming materials processing". This work is risky because the quality of the incoming materials is unknown. It is like opening a blind box. It may be opened to Bissec, and the final product will be of higher value, but it may also be opened to Palacios, and it may be lost in the end. Among these new blind boxes, Susic is already worth the money, and Boni and Pio will definitely not lose money, but the two blind boxes Enrique and Diouf have not been completely removed, so it is not easy to value, but I feel that the prospects are not good. I hope my feeling is wrong!

Club Chairman Marlotta's summary of the team's transfer to the summer window is: maintaining the team's core lineup is an advantage, and only strong teams can do this. Our roster is reasonable in terms of player count, in line with plans and goals, and this is the result of our ongoing communication with the head coach.

I don't know how you view Marotta's words. In my opinion, he is only half right. Maintaining the team's core lineup is an advantage, and this sentence is true, but the premise is that the core lineup has no hidden dangers and has not seen a significant decline in strength. However, in Inter Milan's core lineup, the two positions of the back midfielder and the drag-back center back are obviously at a higher risk of age and injury, and the strength and thickness are also different from other positions. However, the team did not face the problem and never targeted recruitment and reinforcement for these two positions.

Nellas think that such recruitment efforts are aimed at winning the championship? If you read Marlotta's second sentence, it may feel a bit terrifying. "The team's lineup is in line with the plan and goals", which means that Oaks' performance goals this season are likely not to compete for the championship. As long as you ensure a smooth transition in the record and no significant decline, it is enough. For example, the goal of the top four in the league + the top 16 in the Champions League, this should be the goal that the team's current coach and player lineup should be able to achieve.

Another point is that Oaks are likely to be unwilling to invest too much in rookie coach Qiwo, so even though they achieved profitability last season, they still chose the small-buy business model to control trial and error costs.. In this way, if Ziwo is not suitable, the cost of Inter Milan overthrowing and reconstruction will not be too high; and if Ziwo is really the right candidate for Inter Milan's coaching position, it would be okay to invest heavily in upgrading the lineup next summer window.

But Oak only counts the economic accounts, is it counted? And the final impact of the team's economic income!

When Naples, Juventus and Milan in single-line are all making big efforts, Inter Milan chose a conservative strategy. With one increase and the other decrease, the team's prospects for the championship in the new season are not optimistic. Don't forget that Rome, who is coached by Gasperini and Cuomo under Fabregas will also play the role of disruptors in the new season.

If, I mean, if Inter Milan ultimately misses the top four, it is not just as simple as missing the Champions League next season and losing at least 51 million euros in prize money. Because as long as the huge bonus cow of the Champions League is missing, the high-cost thunder of Inter Milan's lineup will explode, and the team has to sell high-priced and high-paid core players to settle accounts and reduce costs, and then embark on the road of large-scale reconstruction. It would be fine if you could find a qualified reconstruction leader to coach, but if you can't meet a suitable coach, the team will still be in a continuous turmoil such as frequent changes in coaches, frequent record increases and players coming and going! By then, Inter Milan would really become a victim of Oak’s money-saving operation!

Now, we can only hope that Qiwo can lead the players to turn the tide and achieve a convincing record!
