Inter Milan have managed a “miracle on a shoestring budget” considering the numbers behind their run to the Champions League final.
As the Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, Inter spent transfer fees totalling just €291.3 million.
Inter Milan have reached the final of the Champions League.
The Nerazzurri knocked the likes of Feyenoord, Bayern Munich, and Barcelona along the way. They also secured impressive results against the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal in the league phase.
Inter will take on Paris Saint-Germain in the final at the end of May.
This is the second time in the space of three seasons that Inter have reached the Champions League final.
As the Corriere note, Inter have not spent much on their current squad.
The total transfer fees that the Nerazzurri have paid on players currently in the squad come to just €291.3 million.
By contrast, Inter’s opponents in the final PSG have spent around €700 million.
Meanwhile, the Corriere note, of the last twenty finalists, only two have spent less.
One is Inter Milan themselves, when they reached the final in the 2022-23 season.
Then, Atletico Madrid in the 2016 also assembled their squad more cheaply than Inter this time around.
