Being one of the Giants of Italian football, Internazionale has had many great strikers. Find the list of the Top 10 Inter Milan Goalscorers Of All Time.

8. Mauro Icardi (124 goals)
Icardi is the lone active player among Inter’s all-time leading scorers and is likely the guy who many Inter supporters would prefer not to see on this list. He is also the only one of Inter’s all-time top goal scorers who, although frequently scoring for the team, never won a trophy with the organization. Possibly because he was a part of Inter through one of its most stale periods, when they seldom competed in any European tournament and struggled in the Serie A. Icardi grew up at Barcelona’s renowned La Masia youth system, but he wasn’t destined to play for the first team and instead transferred to Sampdoria, where after a few seasons he shined and major teams began to show interest.
7. István Nyers (133 goals)
Istvan Nyers, one of the best players in Hungarian history, spent six years (1948–1954) playing for Inter. Nyers played for 14 different teams during the course of his career, including teams like Roma and Barcelona, but Inter will be where most people will remember him for his time there. He rose to become one of Inter’s all-time leading goal scorers and one of the most prolific Serie A goal scorers during his time there.

Even though his goal total wasn’t outstanding in any one season, Benito managed to score 10+ goals a season throughout 9 of his 11 years at Inter, which was the key to his success there. His greatest season saw him score 21 goals in 1950/51.
5. Luigi Cevenini (156 goals)
Cevinini, a player who at different times in his career played for AC Milan, Internazionale, and Juventus, is possibly the most prolific goal scorer on this list with an incredible goals-per-game ratio everywhere he went.

4. Sandro Mazzola (160 goals)
Sandro Mazzola, a legend of Inter Milan and one of the best Italian footballers in history, is our fourth player.

3. Roberto Boninsegna (171 goals)

Arriving in 1969 when the members of Grande Inter were gradually departing the team, Boninsegna was very much a part of the post-Grande Inter period.
2. Alessandro Altobelli (209 goals)
One of just two players among Inter’s highest scorers of all time to surpass 200 goals is Alessandro Altobelli. Despite having played for several other teams in addition to Inter, including Juventus, he is one of the Inter players on this list with the longest tenure. Altobelli, who had established a reputation at Brescia, joined Inter at the age of 22. Altobelli was a complete forward who excelled in the air because to his height and had accurate shoots.
