Inter and West Ham have reached an agreement over the loaning of midfielder Joao Mario according to the latest reports.

Transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio reports through his website that the Premier League club have today agreed to meet the price that Inter have demanded for the 25-year-old to leave the Nerazzurri on a temporary basis, with the figure understood to exceed the €1 million mark.

Di Marzio further reports through his website that the loan move will also include an option for the Hammers to turn the move permanent but it will only be an option and not an obligation to do so.

The Portuguese international midfielder joined Inter 18 months ago but has regularly failed to live up to expectations since arriving in Milan from Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon. This term, the recently turned 25-year-old has made 15 appearances in all competitions for Inter and managed to assist on five occasions.
