Manchester United seeks to recruit an Italian defensive player.
Rewritten Article:
Federico Dimarco, a standout left flank defender for Inter Milan, has grabbed the attention of Manchester United, according to reports. The Red Devils are reportedly eyeing the 25-year-old Italian as a potential January signing.
Dimarco, a rising star in both club and national duties, is rumored to be open to joining Manchester United if the opportunity presents itself. His contract with Inter extends until June 2026, but the lure of Old Trafford could sway his decision.
Excitement among Inter's management and coaching staff is muted at this prospect. With Dimarco being a crucial asset in recent seasons, they are contemplating offering him a lucrative contract extension to potentially double his current salary of €3 million per year to €5 million. However, if Manchester United offers a too-tempting deal, Inter may have to say so long to Dimarco and find a suitable replacement with the funds received. It is suggested that Inter would not balk at a €50 million compensation offer.
Born and bred in Inter's youth academy, Dimarco solidified his place as a first-team regular after several loan spells in Italy and Switzerland, starting from 2021. In his time with Inter, he has played 107 matches, scoring 9 goals and dishing out 18 assists across various tournaments.
It's important to note that as of January 2023, there is no public evidence indicating that Dimarco agreed to a transfer to Manchester United. Manchester United's bid for the defender began only in October 2023, with an estimated €50 million price tag [2]. Since signing a four-year contract extension with Inter in 2023 that keeps him there until 2027 [1], Dimarco's earnings increased to about €142,500 per week (£122,000) following his contract renewal [3]. There is no information available regarding any transfer negotiations or agreements involving Dimarco and Manchester United prior to January 2023.
