Di Gregorio spent nearly twenty years at Inter, having joined the club at the age of six.

The goalkeeper progressed through the youth ranks before Monza bought him in 2022.

Di Gregorio did not make a single senior appearance for the Nerazzurri.

Dimarco, meanwhile, joined Inter’s academy at the age of seven and would stay there until 2017.

In June 2017, Swiss side Sion bought Dimarco but Inter repurchased the player the following season.

The rest is history and since then the Italian has made nearly 200 appearances for Inter in all competitions.
