Inter director Piero Ausilio reportedly told Sampdoria President Massimo Ferrero that Roberto Soriano has been ‘booked’ for the summer.
The Italy international has been heavily linked with a move to the Nerazzurri and reports today suggest that a deal is likely.
Corriere dello Sport writes that Ausilio joked to Ferrero yesterday: “Don’t forget, he’s booked.”
The news comes after the Inter director attended Sampdoria’s away defeat to Roma on the weekend, where he confirmed the San Siro club’s desire to sign Soriano.
The newspaper writes that the Nerazzurri had blocked the midfielder’s arrival until the summer as they are planning a midfield facelift then, which began with the January sale of Fredy Guarin.
Inter are believed to be attempting to sign Sevilla’s Ever Banega on a free transfer and reportedly already have an agreement with Soriano, which was put forward during talks for the January signing of Eder.
The Italy international has a release clause of €15m, but Corriere believes Inter will bring this down by offering players, possibly on-loan Dodo and Primavera goalkeeper Ionut Radu, in exchange.
The outlet also believes they will defer the payment for the Samp man in a similar way to Eder’s deal.
