Dries Mertens is set to join Inter after an agreement over personal terms has been reached according to a report in today’s print edition of La Repubblica.
Mertens contract with Napoli is due to expire at the end of next month and Inter have swooped in and reached an agreement over a two year contract contract with the Belgian national team player, who will arrive on a free transfer.
The 33-year-old had also been linked with moves to Chelsea, Newcastle United and AS Monaco but it would appear that Inter have won the race for the former PSV Eindhoven player’s signature.
Mertens looks set to leave Napoli after seven seasons with the club. Mertens has made 311 appearances across all competitions to date for the Stadio San Paolo outfit, in which he has scored 121 goals and tallied 73 assists.
This season Mertens has made 29 appearances across all competitions to date, in which he has scored 12 goals and provided six assists for his teammates.
