Description:
Federico Dimarco joined Internazionale youth academy in 2004 at the age of 7. He was the youngest member of the Italy U-17 squad that won a silver medal at the 2013 UEFA European Under-17 Championship in Slovakia. He made his professional debut for “Nerazzurri” on 11 December 2014, when he came on as a substitute for Danilo D’Ambrosio after 84 minutes in a goalless draw away to Qarabağ in the group stage of the UEFA Europa League. He made his Serie A debut a few months later – on 31 May 2015, in the last 14/15 season game against Empoli. Currently, he is one of the biggest stars of Inter Primavera team and will probably go on loan in the near future to gain some first-team experience.
Quotes:
“I’ve been waiting for this moment since I was five years old. I’ve always seen the games from the outside and finally the right moment came. Seeing San Siro from inside was fantastic. I want to dedicate my debut to my family and the coaches who have helped me from when I started at Inter to the primavera.”
