Inter Milan will say goodbye to the likes of Matteo Darmian, Stefan de Vrij, and Francesco Acerbi in the summer of 2026.
This according to today’s print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInter1908.
Inter Milan have relied on veteran experience a lot in the last few seasons.
Stefan de Vrij joined the Nerazzurri from Lazio in the summer of 2018. Having been 26 when he joined the club, the Dutchman is now 33.
Meanwhile, Matteo Darmian joined Inter in 2020, aged 30 at the time. And Francesco Acerbi was already 34 when he arrived from Lazio in the summer of 2022.

Inter will rely on all of de Vrij, Acerbi, and Darmian next summer.
However, the Nerazzurri can hardly afford to keep the aging trio around for much longer.
Therefore, according to the Gazzetta dello Sport, all three of the veteran defenders will leave when their contracts expire.
All three are only under contract with Inter until the end of next June. Therefore, they’ve each got just one more season left.
Inter management is a joke. Ausilio is a complete incompetent.
I’ll start supporting inter after ausilio leaves and after inter start trusting young talent over aging players. Good bye.
that inter never exist. bye, plastic
Take that useless Ausilio with them, the day he signed Arnautovic and leaving Retegui behind tell me about this guy, incompetent, I knew he will score tons of goals, and he did in just 2 years in serie A, Atalanta made a fortune now. Now we spent 70mill on substitute and still not getting key players that can be decisive for us
wtf is this fuckery nonsense about?! I hope all the ultras turn on the Inter management asap because this isn’t NOT what was supposed to have happened… there must be some kind of hidden agenda for allowing this bullshit to happen, surely!! benchods!!
Is this meant to make us feel better?? We’re making the MLS look like a league for young talent!! The fact is that – despite whatever they may have done for the club- Darmian, Acerbi and Miki should be nowhere near the first team this season!! This was supposed to be a summer of radical change- The new coach, focusing on youth, and bringing fresh ideas…. I’m telling you now, that with the possible exception of Sucic (but I’d put more money on it being FUCKING MIKI AGAIN) we will start the first game of the season with the exact same starting line up, and formation, as last season…. Absolute Fucking Joke!!!!
they’re taking us on a ride!! this season will be a disaster. I’m expecting a collapse just like AC BBilans and total chaos in management during the season.
Damn another season? Let them go now.
Go where? No club will sign them. And if Inter would like to terminate their contract, it is likely that we will have to pay their salary anyway.
