Italian media: Inter Milan is re-planning the contract renewal strategy and does not plan to renew the contracts of Mkhitaryan, Darmian and others

October 16 Football Market reported that Inter Milan, under the leadership of new owner Oaktree Capital, is re-planning its player contract renewal strategy. The future of many players such as Mkhitaryan and Fratesi is full of uncertainty.

According to Oaktree Capital's rigid regulations on salary reduction and player age control, the club currently prefers not to renew the contracts of Mkhitaryan, Darmian, Acerbi and De Vrij after their contracts expire in 2026. But there are also variables. The 33-year-old DeVry's outstanding form may cause the management to re-evaluate, but the current general direction is still to let them all leave the team.

The situation of midfielder Fratesi is more complicated. He once sought a transfer last season due to his limited playing time, but was persuaded to stay with the team under new coach Chivu's plan and was rewarded with the club's promise of a contract extension and a salary increase. However, this contract extension has been put on hold by Oak Tree Capital. The new owner requires that Fratesi's actual contribution be assessed before making a decision. What's even more troublesome is that it is said that Chivu's tactical plan has changed, putting Fratesi back in the embarrassing situation he was in a year ago. If the player wants to leave again, the club may consider selling him directly.

In stark contrast is defender Akanji. With his huge influence immediately after joining, he conquered the coach and management, and Inter Milan will undoubtedly buy him out. Akanji's strong performance also brought a chain reaction, that is, Bisek's playing time was severely compressed, affecting his prospects of being selected for the German World Cup squad.
