Dimarco Says Inter Renewal Talks Have Not Started as Barcelona Monitors

With his contract set to expire in mid-2027, Inter must open negotiations soon or face the prospect of losing a top left-back for free next summer.

Overview

  • Federico Dimarco has publicly said formal contract renewal talks with Inter Milan have not begun but he expects discussions to start soon according to interviews published in early September 2026.
  • Dimarco’s current deal runs to June 30, 2027 and contains a unilateral club option to extend through June 2028, which gives Inter short-term control if it chooses to trigger the clause.
  • Inter president Giuseppe Marotta has called Dimarco 'untouchable' and the club has signalled it will prioritise renewals for key players, yet no formal offer has been announced.
  • Barcelona monitored Dimarco at the end of the summer window and considered swap talk involving Alejandro Balde before that option fell away, and Spanish outlets now list Dimarco as a potential free transfer target for 2027.
  • Dimarco’s recent form — seven goals, 18 assists and the 2025/26 Serie A MVP — raises his market value and media reports expect any new deal to push his pay from about €4 million net to nearer €5 million net, making timing and wage demands central to the coming negotiations.
