Inter Milan are close to signing Swiss U19 international striker Oliver Schmidhauser from Bundesliga outfit RB Leipzig, SempreInter.com can exclusively reveal.
The 18 year old striker’s current contract is set to expire at the end of this coming June and so if he were to join Inter Milan it would be on a free transfer.
Should Oliver Schmidhauser, who has won just the one cap for the Switzerland U19 team, sign for the Nerazzurri he would play for the Inter Milan Primavera team, or the youth team set-up.
His agent was in Milan last week to meet with Inter’s representatives to finalize a deal which would see Schmidhauser sign a two year deal with the Nerazzurri.
