Inter are preparing to extend contracts of two of their players
Inter Milan had the chance to go six points clear yesterday at the top of the league. All they needed was for FC Como to defeat AC Milan, something that looked like it could happen early with Como breaking first. However, Milan scored three goals to win the game away.
A win for Como, would have made the title extremely likely for Inter. Especially with the quality in their squad, being arguably the best in the league. This quality took them to a Champions League final last season, and after they lost they 5-0 their then coach Simone Inzaghi stepped down.
Cristian Chivu then came into replace him and didn’t miss a beat at all. He has Inter first because the quality in this Inter squad manages to make his job easy. This is why Inter are aiming to keep their core group of players together, and they way to do this is contract extension.
Inter are aiming to get on these straight away, one of these that they have tried to finalise already is Federico Di Marco. (read more here). In that article it also discusses Hakan Calhanoglu and how he won’t resign for Inter at the moment, however there is conflicting reports.
These come from Nico Schira which state that Inter are preparing to open talks with Hakan with a contract that will run until 2028 with an option to keep him in Milan until 2029. The talks are still in the early days so its unknown if Hakan will resign if he has offers from other clubs.
This comes as Orazio Accomado as Turkish side Galatasaray are interested in signing a midfielder. They have been looking for a midfielder in January, as they have been in talks with Inter already for Davide Frattesi. Galatasaray are willing to spend up to 13 million euros for Hakan.
Something both parties could consider for Hakan as he nearly signed for them in the Summer. This was after a fallout with some of his teammates, mainly Lautaro Martinez. However, as the season closed they made up and Hakan stayed in Inter Milan,, and got ready for the next season. One of theo other ways Inter got ready for the next season was bringing in two young strikers.
One was by signing Ange-Yoan Bonny, to the side from Parma, the other was integrating Pio Esposito from Spezia. He has done well so far for Inter, well enough that he has earned a contract extension. This is why Nico Schira reports that Inter are offering Esposito a contract extension and a contract until 2031.

AS Roma aiming to extend the contract of two long term players
AS Roma have been one of the most changing teams in Serie A over the last two or three years. Since the 2023-24 season Roma have had five managers with Jose Mourhino being replaced by interim Daniele De Rossi who took his job. De Rossi was made permeant but his stint at Roma didn’t last for long as Ivan Juric replaced him.
Juric had a terrible stint in the capital being replaced after only 12 games, by Claudio Raineri who would coach Roma until the end of the season. Raineri moved up to the board hiring Gian Piero Gasperini before the start of this season. This has mean’t that there has been plenty of team changes in transfer windows to support this.

However, through this there is two Italian constants for Roma. Bryan Cristante and Gianlcua Mancini have been main stays for the Gillanorossi over the last decade. Mancini has been with Roma since 2019 while Cristante has been there since a year before joining in 2018. However, their time in the capital is on short notice as they both have expiring contracts.
Both players have contracts that expire at the end of next season, but they are set to stay for longer. This comes from a report from Nico Schira which states that both players have a contract ready to extend their time with Roma. Roma has a deal which will keep the two Azzurri team mates with them until then end of 2029.
These contracts could be there last with Roma, bringing them past a decade in the capital. Mancini will also be 32 while Cristante will be 33 meaning that they will likely brining an end to their time at Roma. However, it is not impossible for them to play past as many top players have but if they can is yet too be seen.

Fiorentina extend the contract off hot summer prospect
Fiorentina have had one of their worst seasons in their history as they have spent most of their campaign in the relegation zone. However, they have slowly clawed themselves from 20th to 17th to try and stay in Serie A. A relegation would be disastrous for a club the size and with the wage bill of Fiorentina, but they are fighting to survive.
This lead to some clubs thinking that some of their key players would be for sale in January, as they look to dump some wages for the possibility of them incase they down. Moise Kean was the main sought after but there was very real rumours surrounding the striker. Al Hilal had serious interest as they look to replace Marcos Leonardo before he joined Atletico Madrid.

Fiorentina’s Italian forward Moise Kean looks on during the Serie A football match between SSC Napoli and Fiorentina. SSC Napoli won 2-1.
There was a less known name in rumours which was Niccolo Fortini. The youngster has emerged for Fiorentina has already seen some big interest from around Serie a. Napoli and Roma have already shown interest but there interest has been rumours at best, with no official offers being made to sign Fortini. However, Fiorentina aren’t waiting for someone to do so.
This comes as Fiorentina want to secure his future with the Viola, so they are set to offer a contract extension to Fortini. This comes from Nico Schira which states that Fiorentina has offered Fortini a deal until the end of the 2029/30 season. This is as Fiorentina are trying to entice Fortini with Fiorentina despite oncoming interest.
His new offer will likely come with a pay rise to reward him for his improvements this season. A higher wage will also stop other teams as there offers will be less enticing to the young Italian. The deal also comes with added job security for the young Italian, which will see his future secure in case he is unlucky enough to have a long term injury, something more common in football now a days.
