Carboni Completes Parma Move as Inter Set Strict Terms for Berenbruch Exit | OneFootball

Inter have officially sold Franco Ezequiel Carboni to Parma on a permanent basis, with the left-sided defender signing a contract through June 2030, while the Nerazzurri have made clear to Thomas Berenbruch that any transfer will come only via loan or with a buy-back clause attached.

According to Football Italia via FCInterNews, Inter confirmed the Carboni sale after Parma exercised their option following a six-month loan that began in January 2026. Carboni joined Inter in January 2020 after coming through the youth setups at Club Atlético Lanús and Catania, and accumulated senior experience across multiple loan spells – Cagliari, Monza, Ternana, Venezia, Empoli, and finally Parma.

The permanent exit fits neatly into Inter’s broader summer clearout. As part of a wave of departures this window, the club is monetising fringe assets to free up wage budget and fund more pressing targets. No transfer fee has been officially disclosed, but Parma’s five-year contract commitment signals they regard Carboni as a genuine first-team fixture rather than squad depth.

Berenbruch’s Future Tied to Inter’s Terms

Meanwhile, the Nerazzurri have drawn a firm line around 21-year-old midfielder Thomas Berenbruch. His agent met with club officials at the Viale della Liberazione headquarters, but Inter’s message was unambiguous: no outright sale. Any move will mirror the structure used for Aleksandar Stankovic’s loan to Club Brugge last summer – controlled exposure with the parent club retaining a mechanism to bring the player back.

Berenbruch has been in the Nerazzurri academy since 2020 and stepped up to the Under-23 side in Serie C last season. Cagliari are currently the frontrunners to secure him on a temporary basis. Whether the Sardi can agree to Inter’s terms – which will include a buy-back provision – determines whether the deal progresses.

The pattern is consistent with how Inter have handled other academy exits this summer: cash out on those whose value has peaked through loan cycles, retain structural control over those still ascending.
