Inter and Genoa have agreed terms for the transfer of young Italian U21 international striker Andrea Pinamonti, Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia’s transfer market expert, Gianluca Di Marzio reports.
According to the report, Genoa will pay Inter €18 million to sign the player outright this summer, with a gentleman’s agreement having been found between the Presidents of both clubs, that the Nerazzurri will be able to sign the player back after one season.
Inter are under pressure to raise €46 million in capital gains so every single penny from the Pinamonti transfer will go towards meeting that requirement that Inter have to meet in order to follow the Financial Fair Play rules that all clubs have to follow as per UEFA’s instructions.
There is no buy-back clause inserted into the contract as these are no longer allowed as a result of a change in the rules which prevents clubs from inserting a mandatory buy-back option on the budgets for the following seasons.
Adding €18 million from the transfer of Pinamonti to that of Zinho Vanheusden to Standard Liege for a fee around €12 million, means that Inter are within striking distance of the €46 million they are required to raise in capital gains by June 30th.
