Further to a report from Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport have now also reported that Inter should complete the signing of Keita Balde next week.

Monaco are looking to re-coup as much of the €32 million they shelled out to buy the Senegalese from Lazio last summer through the proposed transfer to the Nerazzurri and Inter are understood to be wanting to do a deal around the €25 million mark using the loan with right to redemption transfer formula.

Monaco are well aware that Keita did not deliver as expected last term and with the English transfer window now shut, they may not want to risk rejecting Inter in the event that no other offers arrive for the 23-year-old winger.

The report from the Rome based news outlet goes on to suggest that Inter would be willing to pay a similar loan fee to the one they paid to secure full back Sime Vrsaljko earlier on this summer on the same basis which is €6.5 million.
