Cristiano Biraghi is edging ever closer to completing a transfer back to Inter from fellow Serie A side Fiorentina according to a report from Tutto Mercato Web.

The Nerazzurri have submitted a loan with option to buy offer for the full back, who is a product of the Nerazzurri academy.

The 26-year-old Italian international’s seemingly imminent arrival will provide Inter with another option at left back to Kwadwo Asamoah and he will also help Inter meet squad requirements relating to homegrown players in UEFA competitions.

The fact that La Viola are courting replacements makes it even clearer that Biraghi is headed for the Nerazzurri shortly.

Fiorentina have drawn links to former Inter player Yuto Nagatomo, who is currently playing for Turkish giants Galatasaray and as per the report, the Florence club are also interested in signing Nicola Murru from Sampdoria and could be willing to exchange striker Giovanni Simeone for him.
