Inter’s relationship with Italian agent Federico Pastorello is increasingly useful, with his involvement in the deal for Malang Sarr potentially being key, according to a report from Italian media outlet PassioneInter earlier today.

The report details how the 46-year-old Italian represents Inter wing back Antonio Candreva, who has shone under coach Antonio Conte this season. Pastorello also helped close out the deals for former Manchester United forward Romelu Lukaku and Conte himself, who was also close to Roma before joining the Nerazzurri last year.

Six players in the Inter squad are also under his management, so a good relationship with the Italian agent is crucial for the Nerazzurri.

Pastorello has been involved in the deal for Nice defender Malang Sarr, the report continues, and his work could be decisive. The player is a free agent and is being followed by many teams, considering his young age of 21 and defensive capabilities.
