Federico Dimarco signs new long-term contract with Inter Milan
Inter Milan have secured the long-term future of Italian international Federico Dimarco, with the defender signing a new contract with the club. According to reports from Sportweek, the new deal will keep the 26-year-old at San Siro until the summer of 2029, a significant extension on his previous terms. The club has moved to reward one of its most consistent performers, tying down a key asset amid interest from other European sides.
Dimarco's journey to this point has been unconventional, having risen through Inter's youth academy before embarking on a series of loans to gain experience. His path included spells at Sion, Parma, and Hellas Verona, where he honed his skills as an attacking wing-back. His breakthrough finally came upon his return to Inter, where he has since established himself as an indispensable part of Simone Inzaghi's system on the left flank.
The new contract represents a just reward for his development and recent form. Across Europe's top five leagues this season, Dimarco has been statistically the most productive defender, contributing a combined 21 goals and assists according to Sportweek's analysis. His set-piece delivery, crossing ability, and occasional spectacular long-range strikes have made him a unique offensive weapon from defense, a key component in Inter's Serie A title charge and run to the Champions League final last season.
For Inter, securing Dimarco's signature removes any lingering uncertainty about his future and allows the club to build its defensive structure around him for the coming years. The move also carries significant symbolic weight, as Dimarco is a lifelong Inter fan and a product of the club's youth system, embodying a strong connection with the supporter base. His story, from helping in his family's fruit and vegetable shop in Milan's Porta Romana district to starring at San Siro, has cemented his status as a fan favorite.
This contract extension signals Inter's intent to retain its core Italian talent as it continues to compete at the highest level domestically and in Europe. With his future now settled, Dimarco can focus entirely on contributing to Inter's ongoing pursuit of silverware, with the club firmly in the Serie A title race and progressing in the Champions League.
