Reigning Serie A champions Inter Milan are continuing their golden run of form on the field despite Antonio Conte leaving the duties a bit abruptly. Simone Inzaghi has done a terrific job thus far to keep them 4 points clear at the top of the table, but it seems like the 2009/10 treble winners have a new problem to worry about.
The local finance police in Milan raided Internazionale’s office in search of information pertaining to player transfers, fees paid between clubs for the materialization of a transfer and others. Not very long ago, Juventus were also raided by the same organization and if they are deemed guilty, the Old Lady could be up for some pretty hefty penalties.
The police had requested the Nerazzuris to submit documents which contains information of player sales made from 2017/18 season to the current one. The Italian clubs previously have been found guilty of false accounting on multiple occasions. It is fair to say that the blue side of Milan will be a bit tensed with this situation.
This news comes shortly after the announcement made by both Milan clubs about their new stadium, which is named “The Cathedral”. Having shared the stage at the San Siro for all these years, a new chapter dons in the history of this great club.
Internazionale are said to be facing a lot of financial troubles in the last few seasons, which apparently were crucial reasons behind the exit of Romelu Lukaku and Achraf Hakimi earlier this summer. Both these players, who were instrumental in leading Inter to their first league title in over a decade, went for a massive price, leaving Inter bemused and eventually it proved decisive in Conte leaving his position as head coach to join Tottenham.
However, they made some smart signings like that of Edin Dzeko from AS Roma and Hakan Calhanoglu from AC Milan, who have proven themselves to be very pivotal to Inter’s cause this season. Although Napoli and AC Milan occupied the top two spots for a while, it seems like Inzhagi’s men are firmly in contention to win the title and make it 2 in a row.
