Veteran defender Matteo Darmian will spend one more season at Inter Milan despite earlier doubts surrounding his future.

According to FCInterNews, the 35-year-old will stay at San Siro until the expiry of his contract next summer.

Matteo Darmian joined Inter from Parma in 2020.

Though he initially signed on a season-long loan, the Nerazzurri made his transfer permanent the following summer.

Darmian has since been a permanent first-team fixture under two different managers.

In addition to his long-serving loyalty, Darmian is among the most experienced players in the squad.

Furthermore, he even challenged Denzel Dumfries for a starting berth until the start of last season.

However, the Dutchman had a campaign of his life, significantly reducing Darmian’s playing time.

Despite Dumfries’ rise to prominence, the ex-AC Milan defender was still a useful cog in Simone Inzaghi’s machine.

Therefore, he will remain at Inter for one more season, which will be his sixth consecutive year at Giuseppe Meazza.

While there’s been no confirmation yet, Francesco Acerbi should also remain with the Nerazzurri for 2025/26.
