Inter Milan has reported a profit of €35.4 million for the current year, marking a significant achievement as the club had not recorded profit in recent history. This year also saw a record revenue of €567 million.
Since the financial crisis induced by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, which worsened existing debts, Inter has made significant strides to rectify its financial situation.
The crucial turning point came when Suning defaulted on a loan, resulting in the club effectively being taken over by the American investment firm Oaktree in May 2024.
With Beppe Marotta now serving as President, the club has focused on cost management and revenue enhancement. Their recent success, including reaching two Champions League Finals in three years and participating in the FIFA Club World Cup, has played a key role in this recovery.
Inter’s profit of €35.4 million in the fiscal year 2024-25 indicates a remarkable turnaround from the €35.7 million loss reported in June 2024. Overall revenue reached an all-time high of €567 million, an increase of €94 million from the previous season.
The club has also strengthened its financial stability by repaying a €400 million bond early and securing a €350 million long-term loan.
Inter Celebrates First Profit in Modern History
President Marotta stated, “The financial results we announce today represent a landmark achievement: for the first time in Inter’s modern history, we recorded a net profit. This result underscores the strength of our strategy focused on sustainability, operational efficiency, and resource maximization. I extend my gratitude to Oaktree for their professionalism and strategic guidance, which have enforced sound governance and financial discipline within the club.”
“Recently, the Milan City Council approved the sale of the San Siro stadium to Inter and Milan. This decision opens up tremendous opportunities for our club, the city, and Italian football as a whole. This project signifies a historic change not only in terms of sustainability and revenue growth but also enhances the fan experience in Milan. We aim to create a state-of-the-art facility that will serve as a model for other European clubs and contribute to the ongoing development of our community.”
“Our goal is to ensure that Inter and its supporters have a home that honors our rich history and promises a bright future.”
This turnaround is particularly impressive considering that Inter recorded a loss of €216 million in 2021. However, despite this year’s profitability, the club continues to tackle substantial debts, limiting its activity in the transfer market.
