There remains no doubt that Inter will exercise their option to sign Stefano Sensi permanently it is just that the Nerazzurri have decided to postpone this until August, according to a report in today’s print edition of Italian daily newspaper Corriere dello Sport.

Inter have absolutely no second thoughts about Sensi and will take up the option to sign him on a permanent basis from fellow Serie A side Sassuolo which will cost them around €20 million, the report continues.

However, the payment won’t be made until August according to today’s print edition of Turin based Tuttosport, because this way the payment for Sensi can be registered on the balance sheet of next season, with the fiscal year ending at the end of June each year.

Sensi joined Inter last summer on a paid loan deal for €5 million with an option to make the move permanent set at €20 million. The Italian international midfielder has since then featured 18 times across all competitions scoring three goals in the process.
