Inter Milan builds the future: renewing the contract with Chivu and negotiating with Palestra
Inter Milan is planning for the future with a contract extension with coach Cristian Chivu until 2028 and is looking to recruit Marco Palestra from Atalanta to replace Dumfries.
Despite just having a successful season with titles in Serie A and Coppa Italia, Inter Milan is constantly trying to perfect the squad for the future, aiming to affirm its domestic position and return to the top in the Champions League, something they have not achieved in the past 2025/2026 season.

To start this plan, Inter decided to extend the contract with coach Cristian Chivu. Coach Chivu signed a new contract with the club, valid until June 30, 2028, with a minimum salary of 3 million euros net per year. Through its media channels, Inter Milan confirmed this information: "FC Internazionale Milano is pleased to announce the contract extension with coach Cristian Chivu. Thanks to the new agreement, he will continue to lead the team until 2028."
In addition to retaining Chivu, Inter is also actively looking for a replacement for Dumfries. The club is negotiating with Atalanta to recruit Marco Palestra, with an offer of around 50 million euros, including bonuses. Palestra, after returning from his loan season at Cagliari, had previously reached a personal agreement with Inter.
