Inter have drawn up a new long-term contract for Valentin Carboni as they prepare to complete a loan deal with Olympique Marseille.
The Nerazzurri made it clear that they valued the 19-year-old Argentinian forward highly this summer, setting a €40m price tag on the talented teenager. When concrete offers did not arrive, the club decided to pursue a loan move for the player.
Marseille are seriously interested in signing Carboni and are looking to set up a loan deal with a €35-36m buy option attached. Inter don’t want to lose control of the teenager, so are pushing for a €40-45m buy-back clause to be included in the deal.
Inter draw up Carboni contract
Page 15 of today’s Corriere dello Sport details how Inter are ready to set up a new five-year contract for Carboni, worth a little over €1m net per season plus add-ons, a sign of their trust in the talented teenager.
He’ll put pen to paper on the contract after his return to the Lombardy capital on August 8th, before heading over to France to complete a loan move to Marseille, where he’s hoping for regular minutes under Roberto De Zerbi.
