Italian club "Inter" plans to make a serious renewal in the defense line in the summer of 2026.
Idman.Biz reports that the "black and blues" will part ways with three experienced players at the same time - Francesco Acerbi (37 years old), Matteo Darmian (35) and Stefan de Vrij (33).
The contracts of all three defenders are about to expire, and the club does not intend to renew them. The "Inter" management has already chosen a rejuvenation policy. This course was started after the appointment of a new head coach.
It should be reminded that Cristian Chivu was brought to lead the team before the season. He replaced Simone Inzaghi, who went to Saudi Arabia's Al-Hilal club.
Currently, after six rounds in Serie A, "Inter" is in fourth place in the tournament table with 12 points. All the events give reason to say that Cristian Chivu intends to build a long-term project in the team. Bringing new, "fresh blood" to the defense line will be the first step in this renewal process.
