Inter have never lost a game that Andrea Ranocchia has played in this season, a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport has highlighted.

Ranocchia has made 12 appearances across all competitions to date this term, of which Inter have won nine and drawn three.

In his last four league appearances, Inter have kept as many clean sheets and on top of being important on the field this term, he has also continued to be an important influence off of it.

The former captain is seen as precious for the dressing room and his always positive attitude plus always being ready in case he needs called upon is greatly appreciated.

Ranocchia is under contract with Inter until the end of next season and the report goes on to state that the two parties will carry on together.

In just shy of 900 minutes on the park this season, Ranocchia has scored a single goal.
