Inter Milan announced this week that four long‑serving members of its squad will depart when their contracts officially end on Tuesday.
A legacy of silverware
Stefan de Vrij, who arrived in 2017, spent eight seasons in Milan and amassed nine major trophies, including three Serie A titles and three Italian Cups, cementing his place among the club’s modern greats.
Matteo Darmian, another cornerstone of the side, matched that haul over his six‑year spell, contributing to the same number of championship and cup successes.
Francesco Acerbi, after four years at the club, helped secure two league championships and two domestic cups, providing steady defense and leadership.
Goalkeeper Yann Sommer, in his three‑year stint, contributed to two Serie A crowns and an Italian Cup, his presence between the posts often decisive in tight contests.
Champions League moments
De Vrij, Darmian and Acerbi each collected two runners‑up medals from the Champions League, while Sommer added a solitary medal from the competition, underscoring their impact on the continental stage.
The club took the opportunity to thank each player with official statements and highlight videos, celebrating the chapters they wrote in Inter’s recent history.
Their departures signal a transition period for the Nerazzurri, who are already mapping the next wave of signings as they aim to rebuild and chase fresh ambitions.
