João Mário

Inter are ramping up their interest again in Sporting star Joao Mario. It was reported yesterday by calciomercato that the Nerazzurri had gone back to the idea of signing 23-year-old midfielder.

Kia Joorabchian, the agent of the player and intermediary for new owners the Suning Group, has travelled to Lisbon to speak to Sporting President, Bruno De Carvalho. Inter’s offer is apparently €45million plus a bonus of €5million.

Joao Mario has a buy out clause of €60million which Sporting are expected to stick to as their valuation, however this offer will force them to make a decision, and the player wants a move.
