Inter Milan Plans €90m Player Sales to Fund €135m Transfer War Chest

Inter Milan must sell players to fund a major transfer push while staying within financial fair play limits. The club has identified three players whose departures could generate significant revenue: midfielder Davide Frattesi, winger Luis Henrique and goalkeeper Aleksandar Stankovic. Their sales are expected to be the primary source of fresh funds for the transfer market. The Nerazzurri have been under pressure to balance competitive ambition with UEFA’s sustainability rules, which limit losses to a set percentage of revenue. By player trading, Inter hopes to stay within those limits while still strengthening the squad.

Inter values Davide Frattesi at roughly €30 million, despite a subdued final season. The club plans to re‑purchase Aleksandar Stankovic from Club Brugge for €23 million; because Inter already received €10 million from an earlier loan deal, the net impact on the balance sheet is about €13 million. Luis Henrique is expected to fetch a fee similar to the €30 million bid Bournemouth made in January, which Inter turned down then due to a lack of alternatives. Combined, the three sales should yield around €90 million. Adding Oaktree’s committed contribution of at least €45 million gives Inter a total transfer war chest of approximately €135‑140 million.

If the sales materialise at the projected values, Inter will have considerable flexibility to pursue targets in midfield, attack and defense. The ability to reinvest the proceeds quickly will be crucial, as rivals are also strengthening their squads. Analysts suggest that a new centre‑back and a creative midfielder are the most likely priorities given current squad gaps.
