Report – Inter Milan Close To Agreeing Four-Year Contract Extension With Young Midfielder | OneFootball

Inter Milan are close to agreeing a new four-year contract extension with midfielder Ebenezer Akinsanmiro.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews. They report that the Nigerian will sign a new deal until the end of June 2029.

20-year-old midfielder Ebenezer Akinsanmiro spent last season on loan with Sampdoria.

The Nigerian joined the Ligurians on loan last summer. This is is first regular experience in senior football.

Akinsanmiro had previously impressed in Inter’s Under-19 or Primavera team. This had earned him some matchday squad appearances last season, and a cameo substitute appearance against Lecce.

Inter had beaten the likes of Real Madrid and Benfica to Akinsanmiro’s signature.

However, prior to this season the priority was to get Akinsanmiro regular playing time.

Therefore, Sampdoria emerged as the ideal destination for the 20-year-old to start finding his feet in the senior game.

Now, the question is where Akinsanmiro will be playing his football next season.

There is hardly a chance that the Nigerian will have a role in Inter’s senior squad next campaign.

However, Sky report, Inter will not be selling Akinsanmiro on a permanent basis either. That is because they are close to agreeing a new contract with him.

As things stand, Akinsanmiro is out of contract with Inter at the end of next June.

According to Sky Sport, however, the Nigerian is set to sign a new deal with the Nerazzurri. This will take him until the end of June 2029.
