Inter More Open to Keeping a Couple of Ageing Players Inter are coming off a lengthy meeting with Christian Chivu to discuss the summer strategy and his upcoming extension , and, they are more inclined to keep a pair of veterans, in particular Stefan De Vrij and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, than in previous months, Fabrizio Romano reports (via SOSFanta ). The Nerazzurri will propose to the Dutchman a one-year extension, slicing his salary in half. They’ll meet with his agent soon.
He has featured just 16 times this campaign, falling behind Manuel Akanji, Yann Aurel Bisseck and even Francesco Acerbi in the pecking order. He had alternated with the last one in previous campaigns. While Inter could lose De Vrij to another team, Mkhitaryan is contemplating retirement.
The brass and the gaffer would happily retain him if he kept playing. His minutes haven’t been as consistent as in the past, but he still appeared 38 times and was serviceable, totaling 4 goals and 3 assists. In other positions, Chivu and the front office are on the same page about promoting Josep Martinez .
The negotiation for Guglielmo Vicario has stalled following the appointment of Roberto De Zerbi. Instead, Bisseck hired a new agent. His future might have to be monitored through the summer.
