Etihad Basion Overview

Federico Dimarco has hit back at critics who claimed he was “finished” after Inter’s disastrous 2024-25 campaign. The Italy international starred in Inter’s domestic double-winning season and became the first Italian player to win Serie A’s MVP award.

The Champions League final. It's the biggest match on the club calendar in football, always featuring historic clubs and so often the best players on the planet at that moment. Sometimes, it lives up to expectation in the most extraordinary fashion. Sometimes, sadly, it just doesn't.

How did Inter Milan become a sophisticated debt machine? From issuing €300 million in bonds in 2017 backed by future broadcasting and sponsorship rights, to refinancing at higher interest rates in 2022—the club has succeeded on the field while “selling tomorrow” to finance today.

Inter president Giuseppe Marotta has firmly shut down speculation linking star defender Alessandro Bastoni with a move to Barcelona. The Nerazzurri chief insisted that the Italian international remains a fundamental part of the club's long-term project and has shown no desire to seek a new challenge elsewhere.
