Inter Milan are delighted with their progress off the pitch.

Commercially, Inter saw for 2016 increased revenues from sponsorships, matchday activities and media rights, and continued its expansion into new areas.

Chief Revenue Officer, Michael Gandler, said: “The commercial team has expanded significantly over the last few years and has done a great job of pushing the club forward on the business side in 2016. A strong year has seen the Club re-sign a number of top partners as well as adding six new names to our list of sponsors.

"The commercial infrastructure is now well-advanced so we can continue to drive revenues for the Club which can be reinvested into facilities and players. With Suning’s on- and off-line reach, allied with the strong Inter brand and the huge surge in the popularity of football in China, the Club is now poised to see even stronger growth in China and right across Asia.”
