Inter remain optimistic of bringing full-back Federico Dimarco back to the club following his loan spell at Hellas Verona and will seek a gentleman’s agreement with them.

Dimarco joined the Gialloblu on loan last summer and they have an option to sign him permanently for €6.5 million, and it is expected that they will exercise this after an impressive campaign at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Inter are keen to keep hold of Dimarco though, particularly as they are likely to be short of left wing-back options next season.

Ashley Young is out of contract this summer and is expected to depart, whilst Ivan Perisic only has a year remaining and, with a €5m annual salary, a new deal is thought to be difficult, prompting suggestions he will be sold.

With only Achraf Hakimi and Matteo Darmian guaranteed to remain next season, the Nerazzurri are determined to bring Dimarco back and so they will seek an agreement with Verona.

It would see the Gialloblu take up their option on Dimarco before immediately selling him back to Inter, with the Nerazzurri adding a makeweight to the deal, with goalkeeper Andrei Radu the most likely candidate.
