Softfootball has gathered that Cristian Chivu is set to sign a new long-term contract with Inter Milan before the end of May 2026.
The development was confirmed by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano throgh his official X account following earlier reports that negotiations between both parties were progressing positively ahead of next season.
According to the latest update, the new agreement will run until June 2028 with an additional option extending the deal until June 2029. The contract will also include a salary increase, underlining Inter Milan’s confidence in Chivu’s work and long-term vision for the club.
Romano revealed:
Cristian Chivu will sign new long term deal at Inter by the end of the month. Agreement until June 2028, option until June 2029 and salary increased.
Chivu, a former treble-winning Inter player, has continued to strengthen his reputation in management after successfully transitioning from club legend to head coach.
The extension is viewed internally as a move aimed at maintaining stability within Inter’s sporting project while rewarding the Romanian tactician for his performances since taking charge. Supporters have also reacted positively to the news, seeing Chivu as a figure who understands the club’s identity and ambitions.
Luis Enrique is also reportedly in advanced discussions over a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
PSG remain satisfied with Enrique’s impact this season after the Spanish manager guided the club to another Ligue 1 title while also leading them to the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League Final.
The French giants will face Arsenal F.C. in the final after previously winning the Champions League title in 2024, further strengthening Enrique’s standing within the club hierarchy.
Both managerial developments highlight growing stability among Europe’s elite clubs ahead of the new season.
