Inter are close to reaching an agreement on extending the contract of defender Federico Dimarco.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, who report that the 24-year-old is ready to sign a new deal with the Nerazzurri which would see him follow Lautaro Martinez and Nicolo Barella in committing their futures to the club.

Dimarco’s current deal is set to expire at the end of June 2o23, but the player has established himself as a regular in the first time since returning from loan with Hellas Verona in the summer.

The Nerazzurri are wasting no time in securing the 24-year-old’s future, and have been preparing a contract offer which will see him stay at the club until at least the summer of 2026 on improved wages.

It is thought that there should be few problems in finding an agreement and that Dimarco will soon put pen to paper on the new contract.
