Chivu signs through 2028
Cristian Chivu is staying. The coach who won the double in his first season has signed a new contract keeping him at Inter until 2028 (3). The renewal was confirmed Wednesday (1). Your manager now has the runway to build something lasting.
Dumfries is gone, Palestra is the target
Denzel Dumfries has left for Real Madrid (6). Inter moved fast. A €50m bid is on the table for Atalanta's Marco Palestra as the direct replacement (2) (4) (5). He can play right-back or right wing-back, and he has already agreed personal terms with Inter.
Chelsea lurk on Palestra
It is not a done deal yet. Chelsea are following Palestra closely, and Manchester City are watching too, though neither has submitted a formal bid (7). Atalanta want more than €50m plus bonuses to let him go (2) (5). Inter have the player's agreement, now they need the club's.
Fan-reaktioner
The mood is calm satisfaction. Chivu's renewal landed well, fans see a double-winning coach getting the backing he earned. On Palestra, the Fabrizio Romano update has supporters cautiously optimistic: personal terms agreed, bid submitted, but the fee needs work. The thread leans pragmatic rather than giddy.
