Late last night the news broke that Inter are on the verge of securing the services of Monaco winger Keita Balde on a loan deal with an option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season.

In today’s paper edition of Gazzetta dello Sport, the Milano based newspaper elaborates on that deal reporting that the deal will cost Inter a total of €30 million divided between a loan fee and a redemption fee clause. Furthermore, the newspaper reports that any doubt in the minds of Inter fans that this move means that the Nerazzurri will part with Ivan Perisic is unfounded as Luciano Spalletti does not want to part ways with the Croatian winger.

Instead, the Nerazzurri are open to parting ways with Joao Mario as well as Antonio Candreva who was initially included in a deal with the Ligue 1 side in exchange for the former Lazio winger Keita, who can play on both sides of the attack, similarly to Matteo Politano.

Inter’s new attacking line-up could be made up of Lautaro Martinez behind Mauro Icardi with Keita Balde and Ivan Perisic on either flank of the Argentinian striker supported by Radja Nainggolan.
