Now the celebration for the scudetto, then the managers of Viale della Liberazione will resume contacts for contract renewals which have already been the subject of negotiations in recent months. Agreements to be extended, complete with economic adjustment, are those of Lautaro Martinez, Nicolò Barella and Denzel Dumfries. In addition of course to Simone Inzaghi who deserves a separate discussion because his confirmation has already been “ordered” by president Steven Zhang.
DUMFRIES, THE TRUTH NOW
—
The Dutchman among the players to be renewed is the one whose contract expires first, i.e. 30 June 2025. It is inevitable that the management wants to quickly understand what the winger has in mind. Because last autumn Denzel had said no to the renewal proposed by Inter (4 million net per season, rising, plus bonuses) and was thinking of an experience in the Premier League. Indeed, in a major Premier League. He hasn’t received any concrete offers and there have only been a few surveys from mid-range foreign clubs. For this reason (and because he is fine in Milan…) he has started to reconsider the prospect of an extension with the Viale della Liberazione club, especially if he can continue to exploit the advantages of the Growth Decree. If Inter are unable to extend his contract by the start of the summer session, they will have to try to sell Dumfries so as not to lose him on a free transfer as happened with Skriniar. And of course the money made from his farewell will be invested in his replacement.
CAPTAIN AND DEPUTY
—
Lautaro and Barella have an agreement expiring on 30 June 2026 and, as Marotta said, “we have no anxiety or obligation to have to intervene very quickly”. With both the discussions have been underway for months, but with the Argentine the difference between supply and demand is more marked than that with the midfielder, closer to the white smoke. In Viale della Liberazione, however, there is the belief that the two contracts will be signed. Better if before the start of the next summer window. Winning the scudetto strengthened the bond of the captain and his deputy with the club. Another “detail” that conveys confidence.

AGAIN WITH INZAGHI
—
There are even fewer doubts regarding the coach’s permanence. Zhang was unbalanced regarding his desire to continue with the Piacenza coach on the bench and Marotta confirmed that he is moving towards a renewal. Inzaghi, for his part, has made no secret of the fact that he feels good at Inter and intends to stay, even if he will make some requests at the transfer summit which will take place within the next two weeks. Also in terms of reinforcements: if the objective is to win the scudetto again and try to go further than the round of 16 in the new Champions League with 36 teams, it is inevitable that he will ask for, in addition to Taremi, another striker with dribbling and quality. Maybe even a defender.
