Inter Milan contract expirations shaping future decisions

Six Inter Milan players see their contracts expire on June 30, 2026. Each case carries different technical and strategic implications for the club

Inter Milan faces crucial decisions regarding six players whose contracts run out on June 30, 2026. 

DAZN via Fcinter1908 analyzed each situation by role, underlining how every profile represents a unique case with different evaluations for the club’s future plans.

Regarding Yann Sommer, the Swiss goalkeeper is approaching what could be his last major season as a starter. With Josep Martinez signed as the long-term solution between the posts, a contract renewal for Sommer appears unlikely.

As for Raffaele Di Gennaro, currently the third-choice goalkeeper, no official updates have emerged about his future. There are no known negotiations in place, leaving his position with Inter Milan in complete uncertainty.

Veteran defenders and midfield engine, all with uncertain futures

Matteo Darmian, the versatile defender, will turn 36 at the end of the season. The club must evaluate whether to offer a short extension or part ways when his deal expires.

Francesco Acerbi’s case appears even clearer: the center-back will be 38 by the summer of 2026, making a new contract highly improbable.

Stefan de Vrij remains a reliable presence in defense, but the club’s ongoing strategy of refreshing the squad with younger profiles may affect his future as well.

In midfield, Henrikh Mkhitaryan continues to be tireless, yet he had already considered retirement even before the Champions League final lost against PSG. 

His chances of signing a new deal therefore look slim.
