Valentin Carboni, the talented young midfielder from Inter Milan, has had a busy day, culminating in a significant career move. On Monday Carboni arrived at Inter’s headquarters to finalize his contract renewal with the club and to sign off on his loan transfer to Olympique Marseille.
Contract Renewal and Loan Details
Arriving at Inter’s offices on Viale della Liberazione around 11 AM with his agent Beppe Riso, Carboni first signed a contract extension with Inter, securing his stay with the Italian champions until 2029. Following this, he formalized his move to Marseille. Calciomercato report how the deal involves a loan transfer for a fee of €1 million, with Marseille holding an option to purchase the player for €36 million at the end of the 2024/25 season. Inter retains a buy-back option, allowing them to repurchase Carboni for €40 million within 10 days of Marseille exercising their purchase option.
Performance and Financial Terms
The 2005-born midfielder had an impressive season on loan at Monza, scoring 2 goals and providing 4 assists. As part of his new arrangement, Carboni will earn approximately €3 million gross per season, which translates to just over €1.5 million net. The official announcement of his transfer to Marseille is expected early this week.
Carboni’s Comments and Arrival in France
Speaking briefly to journalists after signing the contracts, Carboni expressed his excitement: “I am happy and ready to start. My goal is to play and do my best.” By 3 PM, Carboni had arrived in France, as evidenced by photos taken by reporters in Marseille.
Looking Ahead
This move marks a significant step in Carboni’s career, providing him with the opportunity to gain valuable playing time and experience in Ligue 1 under the guidance of Roberto De Zerbi. Inter Milan, meanwhile, ensures they have the option to bring back the promising talent in the future, maintaining a strategic hold on his development.
