Calciomercato Inter, Marotta: "Dimarco has extended. Icardi or a fifth striker..."

Marotta confirms Dimarco's contract extended to 2028 and rules out signing a fifth striker or Icardi's return.

Inter president Giuseppe Marotta spoke to Sky Sport ahead of the Champions League match against Feyenoord, addressing the club's recent derby defeat and transfer strategy. Marotta described the squad as "very healthy" with no internal issues, noting that in the last 40 Serie A matches Inter have lost only three times, all to Milan.

On contract renewals, Marotta confirmed that Inter have exercised a one-year extension clause for Dimarco, extending his deal to 2028. He praised the left-back as a true Inter player with the club in his blood and said both parties are keen to extend further during the season.

Regarding the fifth striker debate, Marotta firmly closed the door on both Mauro Icardi and any new forward signing. He acknowledged Icardi's past contributions but said the former captain does not fit Inter's plans. With four strikers already at the club, Marotta compared the situation to having backup goalkeepers, saying it is normal not to have four or five forwards.
