Italian club Inter Milan wrote a new chapter in its history, not on the pitch this time, but in financial and business records, after announcing profits for the first time in 15 years at the end of the 2024-2025 season.

According to the official statement, Nerazzurri’s revenues reached 567 million euros in the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, the highest figure ever achieved by a sports institution in Italy. More importantly, these revenues translated into net profits of 35.4 million euros, compared to a loss of 35.7 million euros in the previous season, meaning the club reversed the equation by 70 million euros in just one year.

The Secret Behind the Financial Boom

Inter’s management explained that these exceptional results came thanks to several factors; foremost among them was increased revenues from domestic and European competitions, and participation in the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup, which gave the club’s coffers a strong financial boost. A stricter policy on expense control under the supervision of the new owner, the American Oaktree Capital Management fund, which acquired the club in May 2024, also contributed.

Investments for the Future

The management did not stop at achieving record profits but announced a long-term investment plan, including a project to develop training facilities worth nearly 100 million euros. This step shows that the club is not only improving its budget but also seeking to secure a sporting future and infrastructure competitive with Europe’s top clubs.

A Sporting Paradox

The paradox is that this economic leap came in a season marked by significant sporting failure; Inter lost the Serie A title by a single point behind Napoli in the last round, before falling heavily 5-1 in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. Nevertheless, the financial figures compensated for the sporting disappointment and sent a message that the club is on the right path towards sustainability.

Beyond the Numbers

Inter’s report reflects not only a return to financial balance but also a qualitative shift in the management of Italian clubs, which have long suffered from debt. If this path continues, Inter could become a role model in how to combine tough sporting competition with economic discipline.

With this achievement, Nerazzurri close a dark chapter of continuous losses and redraw their image as a club capable of competing both on and off the pitch, at a time when European clubs race to diversify income sources and comply with financial fair play regulations.
