I think Inter has improved marginally, especially if they manage to get rid of Rivas, Vieira, Burdisso, and maybe two more players. If they use that cash from Barcelona to sign Cassano (a life long Interista) that team goes from good to downright fucking scary.
I wouldn't be surprised for them to keep the money, but it won't be because of financial difficulties like Kaka/Milan, it's because no one tickles their fancy.
