Overview
- Inter confirmed Cristian Chivu’s contract extension on Thursday, June 18, keeping him as head coach through 2028 in a move the club framed as continuity after last season’s Serie A and Coppa Italia wins.
- Media reports say the renewal carries a reported salary of about €4 million per season with an option for 2029, but the club’s statement gave the extension without financial details.
- On Friday, June 19 the club advanced a renewed offer to Atalanta for right-back Marco Palestra worth €45 million fixed plus about €5 million in performance bonuses with personal terms reportedly already agreed and a near-term closing expected.
- Inter is simultaneously pushing to sign goalkeeper Ivan Provedel, centre-back Oumar Solet and midfielder Curtis Jones and aims to have several of those recruits available for the Donaueschingen training camp that starts July 16.
- The board and sporting directors have secured an exception to usual spending limits under Oaktree ownership to prioritize replacements after Denzel Dumfries’ exit, a step that will shape lineups, competition for places and Chivu’s planning for next season.
