Inter Milan will bring in a fee of around €5 million from the sale of Facundo Colidio to River Plate.
This according to today’s print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInterNews, who report that a deal to sell the 23-year-old to the Argentines is now right on the verge of going through.
Colidio is back at Inter after a loan spell at Tigre since January of 2022.
The Argentine, who joined Inter from Boca Juniors in 2017, returned to his home country after a tough period in European football.
Colidio reignited his career during his loan spell with Tigre. There, he formed a strong partnership in attack with Mateo Retegui.
This has led to interest from a number of the country’s biggest clubs in signing him. Meanwhile, Mexican team Toluca are also reportedly keen.
Inter Milan To Sell Facundo Colidio To River Plate For €5M
River Plate are very keen to sign Colidio based on his performances for Tigre.
Whilst Boca also want to sign back the Argentine, it is River who have been pushing with the player. They are ready to agree a contract with Colidio.
Reportedly, River are in very advanced contract talks with the player.
They have yet to make Inter a formal offer, but that should come soon.
Since joining Inter from Boca, Colidio never quite found form.
Colidio had a promising spell on loan at Sint-Truiden in the Belgian top flight between 2019 and 2021. However, during the summer transfer window of 2021 things did not work out for the young striker.
Colidio had appeared to be close to a loan move to Austria Vienna for the 2021-22 season. However, that move fell apart close to deadline day.
There was not time enough to locate a different loan club for Colidio before the end of the window.
However, a return to his home country has seen Colidio spread his wings. Now he is inching towards a big move in his home country.
And, for their part, Inter will cash in to the tune of €5 million.
