The story
Leaks circulating online suggest that Inter Milan could lose their licensing rights, following a pattern seen with other elite clubs.
Screenshots shared by Twitter/X account, dedicated to EA FC @_ReFIFA, reveal that Inter will be listed as "Milano Calcio" in this year's EA FC 25 game, featuring an alternate crest and kit.
Despite recently clinching another Serie A title, Inter's licensing status seems uncertain due to reports of an impending official partnership with Konami.
This exclusive agreement, announced in 2022, is set to come into effect in 2024, meaning that Inter will appear in the new eFootball game.
Here's what Inter had to say when the partnership was announced two years ago:
"We are delighted to welcome KONAMI back into the Inter family and to announce this important and unique partnership, which once again proves the ever-growing value of the Nerazzurri brand and its ability to represent the ideal communication platform to engage a young, innovative and international target, capable of connecting millions of fans around the world, thanks to a long-term strategy.
"Starting this season, KONAMI will play a leading role in our world," said Luca Danovaro, Chief Revenue Officer of FC Internazionale Milano.
"Joining forces with a club of Inter's calibre as part of our football partners is so exciting for KONAMI," stated Naoki Morita, the European president of KONAMI Digital.
"With the new name of the Youth Development Centre, the eFootball logo on the various teams' training kits and a range of eSports activations, at KONAMI we know that this partnership will generate plenty of success now and in the long term."
