Inter Milan's current salary level ranks second in Serie A!
Only behind Juventus!
But in the standings, they are behind San Remo, currently ninth in Serie A!
And Udinese, in tenth, has the same points as them.
When a team achieves results, players' prices increase, high salary renewals ensue, better results are achieved, players' prices continue to rise beyond the team's means... At this point, the team has two choices.
Reluctantly give up this lineup, and start over.
Or believe in this lineup of veterans and renew contracts with higher salaries.
In fact, teams like Liverpool in reality are facing the same choice. Their key players are due for renewals, but they are relatively older, making high-salary renewals very risky. If they don't renew, the team's competitiveness could immediately drop several levels.
Inter Milan chose the latter, betting on the original lineup, but with poor results, the team collapsed instantly.
This process is actually quite similar to Juventus.
