Inter negotiate contract extension with defender Federico Dimarco

Inter are currently in contract extension talks with defender Federico Dimarco. The club aims to secure the player through 2030 following his performance as Serie A Player of the Season last year. Dimarco, whose current deal expires next summer, has previously attracted interest from FC Barcelona. While the Spanish club sought to sign him previously, they recently completed a permanent deal for João Cancelo and have integrated young defender Xavi Espart. These roster changes have potentially cooled Barcelona's pursuit, though the team remains without a natural left-back specialist besides Alejandro Balde. The proposed new deal for Dimarco is expected to pay him at least €4 million net annually. Negotiations remain ongoing as the player prepares for his future with the Italian club.
