Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa are no longer players for Inter Milan.
While the Argentine has already been officially announced by Botafogo a few weeks ago, the Austrian is still waiting for offers to understand where he will continue his career, with his contract officially ending today.
In any case, Inter Milan has freed up a significant amount by letting go of two high-salary players.
As highlighted by Calcio e Finanza via Fcinter1908, Correa had a financial impact on the club of €14.9 million (£12.6m) between gross salary and amortization, while Arnautovic cost €9.7 million (£8.2m).
This results in a total saving of €24.713 million (£20.9m) for Inter Milan.

The two players leave without having met the expectations that came with their respective signings and will be replaced by Ange-Yoan Bonny (arriving from Parma) and likely the young Francesco Pio Esposito.
As mentioned, it remains to be seen what Inter Milan will decide regarding Raffaele Di Gennaro, although the goalkeeper's financial impact is quite small (less than €300,000 (£254,000) between gross salary and amortization), as noted by Calcio e Finanza.
