Marotta announces: "We exercised the extension clause with Dimarco". And on Icardi...

Marotta confirmed Inter exercised a contract extension clause for Dimarco through 2028 and ruled out a return for Icardi.

Inter president Beppe Marotta spoke to Sky ahead of the Champions League match against Feyenoord, confirming the club has activated a contract extension clause for defender Matteo Dimarco, extending his deal until 2028. Marotta praised Dimarco as a true Inter player and said the club plans to renew his contract further during the season, emphasizing the importance of loyalty and sense of belonging.

Marotta also addressed speculation about a potential return for Mauro Icardi, stating that while Icardi gave much to Inter, he does not fit into the club's current plans. The president dismissed concerns about Inter's attacking options, noting that having three strikers unavailable is normal and that coach Simone Inzaghi has done excellent work in developing the squad. Marotta added that Inter has no problem scoring goals, particularly in Serie A, and that the club is not anxious despite competing in multiple competitions.
