Given the superb performances of Roberto Gagliardini since he arrived in January, Inter look set continue with their plan of signing the very best young Italian players.

Suning chief Zhang Jindong sees this as the best way of guaranteeing a strong future, as well as mounting a serious challenge to Juventus for the Serie A title next season.

With this in mind, the club has been working to secure the signing of talented forward Federico Bernardeschi from Fiorentina. According to Il Messaggero, the 23-year-old is virtually an Inter player already.

La Viola are reportedly willing to accept Suning’s €40 million offer, which could also open up other business opportunities with the Della Valle family.

Crucially, an agreement has already been struck with the player’s agent – Beppe Bozzo – who has concluded a number of deals with the Nerazzurri hierarchy in the past.

Despite interest from Juventus, it seems Inter are ready to bring their new number 10 to Milan. Young, Italian, quality – just how Zhang Jindong likes his transfer market coups.
