On 25 October the Italian market continued to heat up, with news ranging from the renewal of Dimarco at Inter, to the possible future of Hutchinson at Milan, up to the declarations of Carrick and Sage.
Inter have decided to renew winger Federico Dimarco, but the negotiation remains pending. The player, who has scored seven goals and provided 18 assists in Serie A, asks for a salary of 7.5 million euros per season, a figure that would place him in second place in the club's highest paid list, after Lautaro Martínez. Agent Arturo Canales will have to negotiate with the management, while the company does not seem ready to change the salary parameters. Dimarco's current contract expires in 2027 and includes an extension option for a further season; Inter intends to exercise this option within the next few months, thus guaranteeing the player a long-term future without having to immediately renegotiate the economic conditions.
Meanwhile, Milan concluded the summer of 2026 with the loan of Omari Hutchinson from Nottingham Forest, with a buyout fee set at €40 million. The loan rate, of around 4 million, brings the total cost of the deal to around 44 million. Hutchinson, who has already scored and provided an assist in seven appearances, is considered a potential investment for the Rossoneri club. Milan have not yet disclosed the financial details, but the loan formula with permanent purchase option has been confirmed.
Manchester United manager Ryan Carrick has responded to accusations of "goodbye" after the defeat against Crystal Palace. Carrick said he has not left the team and has mixed feelings towards the players and fans. He underlined that the situation is difficult but that he will continue to give his best for the club, leaving the future open.
Crystal Palace also faced a critical moment. Coach Pierre Sage said there are "no noises" within the club, but that pressure from fans is natural when results are not up to par. Sage reiterated the importance of focusing on solutions and continuing to work without distractions.
In summary, Inter and Milan are managing the renewal negotiations and acquisition of key players, while the English clubs face internal pressures and team management issues. Future developments will depend on ongoing negotiations and on-field performance in the coming weeks.
