Why don’t Inter Milan have a sponsor on their kit?
Inter Milan do not have a sponsor on the front of their shirt because of a dispute with DigitalBits, who sponsored the team earlier this season.
The cryptocurrency blockchain company agreed a multi-year, €85 million deal with Inter in September 2021.
Originally, they were the Serie A side’s sleeve sponsor before then acquiring the rights for the front of the shirt.
However, DigitalBits failed to send payments to the club in June 2022, October 2022 and February 2023.
In response to the failed payments, Inter removed the company’s logo from all club branding except from the front of the first team kit.
But with no money forthcoming, the 2021 Serie A champions took the decision to remove the DigitalBits logo from the shirt in April of this year.
Inter’s corporate chief executive Alessandro Antonello had told the club’s AGM last October: ‘This money has not yet been paid by the sponsor, for which they have provided reasons that our lawyers deem unfounded.
‘Negotiations are currently underway to find a friendly resolution to the dispute. At present, it is not possible to predict whether these negotiations will be successful or not.
‘If it is not possible to reach an agreement, the club will consider taking legal action to protect our interests.
‘The club has already taken all the necessary actions on the market, initiating several discussions to find a possible new shirt partner through its own commercial structure so that the new partner can take over as soon as possible.’
Roma, who were also sponsored by the firm, have stripped their kits of the logo for the same reasons.
