Inter have received a ‘yes’ from Malcom who has promised to put pressure on Bordeaux in a bid to make them soften their position on his sale and help the deal progress a report from Tuttosport suggests.

Tuttosport continues with their report saying the French club would have also accepted the loan with right to redemption transfer formula but once the numbers emerged, the request for a €7 million loan with the redemption set at €32 million, things began to change. Inter still remain optimistic on successfully closing this deal and negotiations between the clubs continue.

The alternative if a deal for the Brazilian winger does not come to fruition is Matteo Politano from Sassuolo. The €30 million rated Italian international, who scored 11 goals in 39 games last season for the Neroverdi, has been reported by some as being on the verge of completing a move while others have said both players can arrive.
