Inter captain Samir Handanovic is close to signing a contract renewal with the Nerazzurri that will tie him to the club until 2022, according to a report from today’s paper edition of the Turin based newspaper Tuttosport.
The report details how the 35-year-old Slovenian shot stopper is set to have an extra year added onto his contract, by which time he will be almost 38 years old. The player has been crucial for coach Antonio Conte this season and he was sorely missed after suffering a hairline fracture in his left little finger earlier in the season.
The Nerazzurri have been looking for a player to replace Handanovic once the player retires or leaves the club, the report continues, but for now the Inter captain is still set to be the club’s number one.
He has made 30 appearances across all competitions so far this season, for a total of 2700 minutes. In that time, he has conceded 31 goals and kept eight clean sheets.
