Inter are working on a deal to sign Uruguayan youngster Alan Matturro from Defensor Sporting to boost the Primavera defence, according to a report in the Italian media today.

As has been reported by Gianluca Di Marzio today, there was a visit from the player’s agent at the Inter headquarters at Viale della Liberazione on Thursday morning where the deal was discussed.

The 17-year-old centre-back has started to make appearances in the Defensor Sporting senior team already and Inter think it would be wise to move early and get him into their youth setup and see how he develops.

The talks with the agent are ongoing but it is worth noting that there is serious interest in the defender from at least one team in The Netherlands right now.

The Nerazzurri will likely need to prove to the player and his agent that there is a path to the first team at Inter.
