An article published by La Gazzetta dello Sport has disclosed the financial incentives set for Inter players concerning their performance in the UEFA Champions League during the current season. It has been revealed that each player will receive a payout of €2 million upon qualification for each subsequent knockout round of the tournament. Moreover, should Inter emerge victorious in the final match of the competition, a collective bonus of €5 million awaits the team.
In light of Inter’s successful journey to the Champions League Final in the 2022-2023 season, the club harbors ambitions of replicating such achievements this season, albeit with a different outcome. Presently, Inter has progressed to the round of 16 and recently secured a victory against Atletico Madrid at San Siro in the first leg of the fixture.
Further elaborating on the financial incentives, La Gazzetta dello Sport specifies that the €2 million bonus earmarked for qualification into the quarter-finals will be evenly distributed among all squad members. This payout structure persists for subsequent rounds of qualification. Additionally, triumph in the final match of the tournament would entitle the team to share a collective bonus of €5 million.
The publication highlights that separate contractual arrangements exist for Inter’s head coach, Simone Inzaghi, and his coaching staff. Moreover, it is noted that certain top-tier players within the Inter squad stand to benefit from additional bonuses included in their individual contracts, potentially amounting to a further €4 million in earnings.
