In April, Inter will have a very busy schedule that will put the Nerazzurri through many tough and, above all, decisive tests, both in the fight for the Scudetto and to remain in contention for knockout competitions such as the Coppa Italia two Derbies against Milan and the Champions League.
Simone Inzaghi‘s side will face a powerhouse like Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals of Europe’s elite tournament. Bayern comfortably eliminated Bayer Leverkusen in the round of 16—the only team to have defeated Inter in this season’s Champions League. The first leg will take place in Bavaria, while the return match will be held at San Siro.
In these hours following the definition of the quarter-finals draw, rankings are emerging regarding the relative cost of the 8 teams still in contention. Inter finds itself at the bottom of the rankings in terms of squad costs, perhaps reflecting positively on Inzaghi, who has proven skilled at unlocking the maximum potential of the players at his disposal.
The Nerazzurri club also ranks seventh in the salary expenditure table, while Bayern Munich tops the list with a total wage bill nearly double that of Inter. Below is the complete list of clubs, with values expressed in millions of euros gross:
1 Bayern Munich 275.9
2 Real Madrid 273.8
3 Paris SG 221.8
4 Arsenal 204.7
5 Barcelona 201.4
6 Aston Villa 146.9
7 Inter 141.6
8 Borussia Dortmund 113.6
