“We effectively have a deal with Inter,” President Sebastiani told Rete 8.
“We just need to formalise it. I will meet with Inter next week and it’ll be a definitive sale, as we already did for Gianluca Caprari, with Pescara getting 50 per cent in case Inter sell in future.
“There is agreement on everything, but after a taste of Serie A, the lad doesn’t want to go into the youth team.”
