- Stefan de Vrij’s contract also ends and multiple reports say he has agreed to join Panathinaikos, though that move has not been formally confirmed by the receiving club in the sources provided.
- Sommer made 100 Serie A appearances for Inter (139 in all competitions) and won two league titles plus domestic cups while serving as first-choice goalkeeper since 2023.
- Acerbi and Darmian logged 101 and 150 Serie A appearances respectively for Inter and left with multiple domestic trophies and two runners-up finishes in the Champions League.
