Inter Milan are reportedly preparing to offer Cristian Chivu a new contract amid wild speculation linking the club with Diego Simeone.
According to Tuttosport via FCInterNews, the runaway Serie A leaders are keen to reward the 45-year-old manager with a new deal.
Cristian Chivu took over the reins from Simone Inzaghi last summer despite lacking experience in senior management.
However, the Romanian coach has excelled in his first season at San Siro.
Indeed, he is on course to win the Scudetto in his debut campaign.
Inter Milan to Offer Chivu New Deal Amid Simeone Talks

Appreciating Chivu’s outstanding work to date, Inter are eager to extend his contract until 2028.
Furthermore, Beppe Marotta and his associates are seeking to increase Chivu’s current annual wage of €2.5 million.
Therefore, they’re unlikely to appoint Diego Simeone as their new head coach despite recent reports suggesting otherwise.
Yesterday, reports emerged claiming that Inter had reached a pre-contract agreement with the long-serving Atletico Madrid boss.
However, there seems to be no truth in those claims.
If inter wants to do well in Europe next season,Chivu should be sack by the end of this of this season.
He should be replaced by Diego Simeone or the recently sack Chelsea coach that won the club world cup or Someone Nzhagi.
