Federico Dimarco, the Inter winger born in 1997, is at the center of a renewal negotiation that has been taking place at the Nerazzurri for several weeks. The player's contract, which expires in June 2028, is the subject of negotiations between the new sporting director, Luca Baccin, and Dimarco's representatives, with the aim of extending the collaboration with Inter.
Dimarco currently earns around four million euros net per year, plus any bonuses, a figure that places him among the lowest paid players in the squad. In the same team, seven players, including Nicolò Barella, Alessandro Bastoni, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Marcus Thuram, Manuel Akanji, Piotr Zieliński and Lautaro Martínez, receive higher salaries, with Barella and Bastoni reaching six million euros plus bonuses. The Inter captain, with a salary of nine million per year, is the only one to earn more than all his teammates.
Dimarco has expressed his intention to reach an agreement that recognizes him as the team's flagship, with a salary request of around six million euros per year, a figure that is close to that of Barella and Bastoni. This proposal has been presented to the club and, although there are no requests outside the market, the negotiation has been slowed down by internal evaluations within Inter who have yet to decide how to proceed.
The new sporting director, Luca Baccin, declared that the desire is to continue the collaboration with Dimarco, but the final signature will depend on the approval of the club's managers. It is currently unclear when the deal will be concluded, but the parties appear to share the goal of keeping the player in the team for the future. The next step will be confirmation by Inter's top brass, who will have to decide whether to accept Dimarco's proposal and formalize the new contract.
