Inter are in the process of drafting up a contract extension for defender Antonio Candreva according to a report from Italian news outlet TuttoMercatoWeb.

The Italian national team player’s current deal with the club is due to expire at the end of next season and Inter management are in the process of coming up with a contract extension offer which would tie him down to the club until 2022.

Candreva currently earns €3 million net a year with Inter and he will earn more or less the same amount with the contract extension.

The former Lazio player has found his best form again this season under Antonio Conte and has transformed from a winger into a wing back with great success.

The 33-year-old has made 26 appearances across all competitions to date this season. In just over 1800 minutes on the park, he has scored four goals and he has also provided six assists for his teammates.
