Inter are moving closer towards extending the contract of defender Federico Dimarco, as the 23-year-old is an important player at the club.

This according to yesterday’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, who report that securing the defender’s future has increasingly become a priority at the Nerazzurri on the back of his performances so far this season.

Dimarco’s current deal is set to expire at the end of June 2023, but the Nerazzurri are hoping that the defender will be ready to commit his future to the club beyond this date.

After returning from a two-season loan spell at Hellas Verona over the summer, the defender has impressed with his displays in both the back three and at wing-back.

Accordingly, the club are quickly moving towards a renewal with the player who they see as an important part of their long-term plans, and who will be rewarded with a new deal.
