Inter Milan will hold another round of contract negotiations with coach Simone Inzaghi by this weekend.
Inter Milan will hold another round of contract talks with coach Simone Inzaghi by this weekend, according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport via FCInterNews. The newspaper anticipates that the negotiations will take place before Inzaghi’s brother Filippo’s wedding.
One thing that is certain is that Inter are keen to extend Inzaghi’s contract. His current deal runs out at the end of next June, and Inter want to extend it. The Nerazzurri naturally wish to continue with the former Lazio coach, who recently delivered the twentieth Serie A title in the club’s history.
For his part, Inzaghi reportedly wants to stay at Inter. The 48-year-old is happy with the current project and is ready to head into another season, building on his previous achievements and potentially improving upon the last season.
Reports indicate that Inter and Inzaghi have already been planning for next season together. The coach has given his demands to the club regarding the summer transfer market, with the foremost being that no key players from the starting eleven are sold.
Inter have already met with Inzaghi’s agent, Tullio Tinti. The agent has confirmed that the negotiations are going “positively,” although he has also stressed that no agreement has been reached yet. Therefore, at least one or two more meetings are needed before Inzaghi signs the new contract.
According to Corriere, the next meeting will be within the next few days. Both Inzaghi and his agent will be at the wedding of the coach’s brother, legendary former AC Milan and Juventus striker Filippo Inzaghi, this weekend. Therefore, Inter will squeeze in a round of talks with Tinti before then, reports the Corriere.
