Inter are planning to activate the buy option attached to Francesco Acerbi’s loan but they want a discount from Lazio, reports suggest.
The 34-year-old Italian centre back had a complete relationship breakdown with the Biancocelesti supporters during his last season in Rome, prompting him to push for a move away last summer. Acerbi was reunited with his former coach Simone Inzaghi at Inter and he’s featured often this season, starting seven Serie A games.
As reported by Calciomercato.com, Inter are planning to keep Acerbi and activate the buy option attached to his loan move, but they want a discount on the €4m fee agreed last summer.
The Milanese club plan to offer Lazio around €2m, with various add-ons included, linked to objectives like Champions League qualification.
Talks have not yet been opened between the two clubs but updates could come in January, when the transfer window re-opens.
Acerbi has made 14 appearances across all competitions for Inter since his arrival in the summer.
