While the summer transfer market seems far away, the Inter management is already working at a fast pace on contract renewals. According to Tuttosport in today’s edition, four files are at the center of Marotta and Baccin’s attention, in addition to the already well-known case of Marcus Thuram.
The most advanced case concerns Carlos Augusto. The Brazilian full-back, who has become an additional starter in this part of the season and one of the most in-form players in the group, is said to have already reached an agreement for a contract extension: the new expiry date would be set for 2031, with a three-year extension compared to the current one, and only the signature is missing to make everything official.
On the Federico Dimarco front, the club has already exercised the unilateral option to extend the contract until 2028, a move agreed with the player. This choice aims to buy time to define a longer agreement, until 2029 or 2030, with a salary adjustment. The first contacts with his agents date back to September, when Baccin met them in Madrid on the occasion of the match with Real.
The most delicate issue concerns Hakan Calhanoglu, whose contract expires in June if not renewed. After the match with Como, the Turkish midfielder sent a message to the fans: “I’ve been here for five years, we’ve won a lot together and there’s no need to make a fuss.” His agent, Gordon Stipic, is asking for a two-year deal with a net salary of 6.5 million per year. Calhanoglu, who will turn 33 in February, would like to stay in Milan, just as Inter is open to a renewal: the concrete proposal still needs to be defined, starting with the contract duration.
Finally, there is Alessandro Bastoni, whose agreement expires in 2028. Despite recurring rumors of interest from Barcelona, the defender feels good in Milan and has always expressed his desire to stay with the Nerazzurri.
