Inter Milan are working to extend the contract of coach Simone Inzaghi.

The Nerazzurri certainly have no doubts about wanting to continue on with the coach who has guided them to two Champions League finals already.

And for his part, Inzaghi wants to stay. He certainly feels that there is more to achieve with the Nerazzurri.

Money is not the issue for Inzaghi. Inter will reportedly offer him a wage increase to €7 million net per season with significant add-ons – and this should be sufficient.

Inzaghi will reject a much larger offer from Al-Hilal. He wants to continue his project at inter.

However, there is one key demand that Inzaghi will make if he is to remain the coach of Inter Milan.

Tuttosport report that the former Lazio coach wants clear assurances regarding the transfer market.

Inzaghi wants to make sure there is a squad strong enough to keep fighting for trophies if he is to sign a new deal.

Specifically, Tuttosport reports, the coach wants guarantees from Inter owners Oaktree Capital about the age of the squad.

Of course, Inter want to lower the average age of the squad. It is the highest in Serie A by some distance, and that is hardly sustainable.

Therefore, Inter will prioritize reinvigorating the squad with younger players this summer.

However, at the same time, Inzaghi has never hidden the fact that he likes having experienced players around.

Veterans like Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Francesco Acerbi, Matteo Darmian, and Edin Dzeko among others have shone under the Inter coach.

Therefore, Inzaghi wants to be certain that Inter won’t exclusively sign young players and then expect him to improve them. He wants to ensure there is still experience in the team.
