The Inter Milan board is gearing up to extend the contracts of key players to secure their future at the club. Negotiations are underway with players like Barella and Inzaghi, while Lautaro’s situation still needs sorting out. The future of Dumfries is also in discussion as his contract ends in 2025, prompting the need for a decision to be made to either extend his contract or potentially sell him in the upcoming transfer window. The current management’s credibility and the strong relationship between players and the club are expected to facilitate smooth contract renewals.
The talks between the club and players’ agents are likely to be prolonged as both parties await clarity on the new ownership’s plans. However, there is trust in the current leadership, exemplified by Inzaghi’s desire to continue building on the team’s success until at least 2026, possibly 2027. Notably, Barella is poised to become the highest-paid Italian player in Serie A with a contract extending till 2029. The club is also looking to secure extensions for Sommer and Acerbi until 2026 as per their current deals.
With Oaktree at the helm, Inter Milan aims to reinforce its commitment to nurturing young talent with buy-back clauses to retain control over promising prospects. Players like Di Gennaro and Carboni are also in the spotlight, with the former likely to stay and the latter potentially commanding a high transfer fee in the future due to his promising prospects. The focus on securing the future of the club’s key assets reflects a strategic approach to building and maintaining a competitive team for the seasons ahead.
