Inter Milan GM Beppe Marotta insists the club's finances are "stable".
Inter announced losses of €246m for the 2020-21 financial year, a new record for Serie A clubs.
That figure does not take into account the money earned by selling players this summer.
“It is a general situation of European clubs because of the financial crunch created by the pandemic," Marotta told Sky Italia.
“Inter at this moment are financially secure, as we sold some important assets, but consistency and stability come first and foremost. That is what management need to focus on, as well as building a competitive squad.
“This is the situation in Italy and Europe, first we have to ensure stability, then build the team. In the 1990s and 2000, players would flock to Serie A and stay, but now we are more of a transitional league before they move on to higher-paid contracts."
Marotta added: “After the sales, we are financially stable. The rest is a financial operation made by the club owners, which I will not get into.
“What I can say is that the Zhang family invested €700m and have been consistently reassuring, even if from afar. We are here to support the coaching staff and help them focus on their work."
