MILAN – We are proceeding quickly on the renewal of Inzaghi’s contract, with Lautaro and Barella the discussion is based but without haste, and all the players in the Inter squad have asked to stay. This was said by Beppe Marotta, managing director of Inter’s Sport area, speaking on the sidelines of the Sport festival, organized at San Siro by the newspaper “il Foglio”.
Forward with Inzaghi
The Nerazzurri CEO spoke first of all about the coach: “We want to continue an evolutionary process, certainly not a revolutionary one. Simone Inzaghi’s technical management certainly cannot be discussed at all. Indeed, on the indication of President Zhang, we will sit down to extend his contract.” As for the players, he said: “We will not revolutionize the team. And we will follow a criterion of sustainability, always with the aim of achieving further victories.”

The renewals of Lautaro and Barella
As for the renewals of Lautaro and Barella’s contracts, both expiring in June 2026, Marotta said: “More than renewal, I would talk about extension. We have no anxiety. There are no cases of expiring players to intervene quickly on.” Inter’s approach, if possible, will be to meet the players: “For our part, we have the idea of analyzing a group of players who are themselves asking for contract extensions. And who want to stay in this society. We will try to accommodate them, if there is the possibility to do so. We want to create a hard core of players who love this shirt.”

The desire to stay
“Maintaining this staff would mean maintaining a group of winning players, and that’s already a lot. We will act in the best possible way. We have unofficially already made two purchases (Taremi and Zielinski, Ed.). With Piero Ausilio, who is a very good sporting director, we will work to shore up an already strong team.” To those who asked him if there are players who should be considered untransferable, he replied: “In the world of football, we shouldn’t talk about untransferable players and untransferability. We must talk about the situations that gradually arise. The clubs are no longer the masters of the players. Their destiny is in their own heads. But at this moment, I must say frankly that all the registered players have expressed their desire to continue with us. Also because, let’s remember, we are Inter, one of the best teams in Europe. Better than here, where can we go?”.
