Goal.com’s Italian version confirm what SempreInter.com reported earlier this morning: Joao Mario will arrive in Milano later this afternoon together with Gabigol.

According to the report, who quote a source close to Erick Thohir, Inter have secured the services of both players for just over €70 million. Inter will pay €25 million for Gabigol where €18 million go to Santos and the rest to the player himself whilst Joao Mario will cost the Nerazzurri €45 million in transfer fee’s alone.

The formula for the payment is yet to be defined however most likely Inter will pay Sporting €45 million in installments over a few seasons whilst the Nerazzurri have had to pay everything up front for Gabigol in order to overcome competition from mainly Juventus.
