Inter Milan Rocked by €300M Financial Scandal Amid Champions League Fallout

Milan, June 4, 2025 – Inter Milan is at the center of the biggest financial scandal in Italian football since Calciopoli, according to a confidential report revealed by Footmercato. The report alleges that between 2016 and 2019, Inter generated €300 million in fictitious revenues from Asian sponsors to bypass UEFA’s Financial Fair Play (FFP) regulations. These rules aim to ensure clubs operate within their financial means, but Inter allegedly evaded sanctions with the Italian federation’s complicity, despite other clubs facing penalties for lesser violations. The report also hints at ties between Inter’s ultra fan groups and mafia networks, deepening the controversy.

The news broke days after Inter’s 5-0 loss to PSG in the Champions League final on May 31, 2025, followed by manager Simone Inzaghi’s departure on June 3. Fans and analysts speculate the scandal may have contributed to the club’s recent turmoil, with some calling for severe sanctions like relegation. Social media reactions range from outrage to sarcasm, with rival fans reigniting debates over Inter’s historical controversies, including their role in Calciopoli. As investigations loom, Inter Milan faces an uncertain future on and off the pitch.
