There is €3.5 million guaranteed to every participant of the pre-season tournament but one of the Italian clubs could find themselves playing Europa League qualifiers instead
Inter and AC Milan could be at risk of missing the International Champions Cup this summer due to a scheduling conflict with the preliminary rounds of the Europa League.
The third-qualifying-round matches in the Europa League are due to be played on July 28 and August 4, with the ICC beginning on July 23 and concluding on August 13.
Both Milan sides have signed up for this year's tournament, despite the risk that one of them could be forced to play in the early stages of the continental competition instead.
If Milan lose the Coppa Italia final to Juventus and finish sixth in Serie A, they will not qualify directly for the Europa League proper and will need to play in those pre-season fixtures.
If Sinisa Mihajlovic's team beat Juve, however, and Inter finish in fifth place in the league, then it will Roberto Mancini's men who play in the third qualifying round.
The two sides currently occupy exactly those positions in Serie A, with Inter trailing fourth-place Fiorentina on goal difference and Milan four points ahead of Sassuolo.
With €3.5 million guaranteed to every participant in the ICC, Inter may find themselves in the strange situation of hoping rivals Juventus win yet another trophy at the Stadio Olimpico on May 21.
