Lecce Edging Towards Signing Inter Milan Starlet Giovanni Fabbian On Loan

As things stand, the midfielder’s deal runs until the end of June 2026. However, the Nerazzurri want to put pen to paper on an extension until the end of June 2028, as Fabbian is still very much in the long-term plans.
Once that happens, the Corriere reports, Fabbian’s loan move to Lecce is ready to go ahead.
