Cristian Chivu Extends Contract with Inter Until 2028
June 5, 2026 · María Jesús Morales
Cristian Chivu has extended his contract with Inter until 2028. The club is now focusing on strengthening the squad to achieve European success.
Cristian Chivu has solidified his future with Inter Milan by signing a contract extension that will keep him at the club until 2028. The decision was made in a calm and optimistic atmosphere at the club's headquarters. Chivu, who has already won the Serie A title and the Coppa Italia in his first season at the helm, has earned this extension through his successful leadership. Inter president Giuseppe Marotta emphasized Chivu's merits on the field as the driving force behind this decision.
However, as Inter looks to make its mark in European competitions, the club acknowledges the need for a robust transfer market strategy. Despite a strong domestic performance, Inter stumbled in the Champions League playoffs, falling short against Bodo. The departure of Denzel Dumfries to Madrid leaves a gap that needs filling, and Marco Palestra is seen as a promising young talent to step into that role. At just 21, Palestra offers potential growth and aligns with Chivu's knack for developing young players.

Moreover, the midfield and defense require attention. With Francesco Acerbi's departure, Inter is targeting midfielders Koné and Jones, while defensive reinforcements are also on the agenda, with names like Muharemovic and Ndicka in the mix. The club has offered Stefan de Vrij a one-year contract extension, but there's interest from Bundesliga clubs in Bisseck. Chivu's influence in transfer decisions is expected to grow following a convincing season, as he seeks to mold a team that reflects his vision.
Inter fans can look forward to an ambitious summer as the club aims to elevate its status in European football. Chivu's extended commitment is a sign of stability and intent, promising a competitive squad ready to challenge on all fronts.
