  WHAT HAPPENED?

  Inzaghi is enjoying a superb season at Inter, with the club top of Serie A, having lost just once. They sit 12 points clear of second-placed Juventus, and Inzaghi could subsequently be touted as a potential new manager for various clubs this summer; Barcelona and Liverpool are both set to undergo a managerial change with Xavi and Jurgen Klopp leaving, while Erik ten Hag is under intense pressure at Manchester United.

• WHAT MAROTTA SAID

  Marotta has confirmed plans to offer Inzaghi a new contract, telling : "The renewal of his contract? The fundamental thing is that Inzaghi enjoys the esteem of the club, the owners and the fans not only for what he has demonstrated, but also for his abilities, his behavior on and off the pitch and for the results obtained For our part, we want to continue with him.

  "If we look at the rankings, the coaches of the top four all have contracts expiring in 2025 and we will address the issue of Inzaghi's renewal at the right time. Certainly, I repeat, Inzaghi enjoys our trust: He wants to stay with us, just as we want him to stay. The contract is a complement."
