Matteo Darmian’s contract with Inter expires at the end of the season and the club are prepared to reward him with a new deal.
The Italian full back arrived in the Lombardy capital back in October 2020, initially on loan from Parma before he made a permanent move the following year. His tactical flexibility and experience have made him a useful part of the squad over the last three years.
Darmian is a trusted member of Simone Inzaghi’s set up and he’s featured prominently this season, seeing 1201 minutes of action across 17 total appearances in Serie A and the Champions League. He was recently praised by Inter CEO Beppe Marotta for his professionalism and continued growth.
Page 13 of today’s Gazzetta dello Sport details how Inter have the option to automatically extend Darmian’s contract by a further year, but instead the club would prefer to reward the defender with a slight raise in a new contract.
The 34-year-old Italian currently earns around €2.5m net per season, which will be increased in a new deal.
Inter are hard at work renewing the contracts of various stars, including Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Lautaro Martinez and Federico Dimarco.
