João Mário

Transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio reports that Inter are feeling very confident about a positive outcome to the Joao Mario negotiations.

Di Marzio reports on his homepage that “There is optimism for Joao Mario: the Nerazzurri would like to close the deal as early as today. The optimism has grown thanks to the departures of Erkin and Jovetic: there are two open spaces in the squadlists, especially the Europa League one.”

Many sceptics have wondered how Inter will be able to complete this signing given the club’s finances. However Di Marzio reports that the deal wont violate UEFA’s rules stating that “the signing of the Portuguese is in line with UEFA’s Financial Fair Play rules: by the 30th of June, when the balances will have to be presented Inter counts on diverse sponsorships, income and sales to be fully within the imposed parameters.”
