Defender Yann Bisseck has signed his contract with Inter Milan, whilst the Nerazzurri are still negotiating the transfer fee with Aarhus.

This according to Sky Sport Italia transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, via FCInterNews, who reported live on air moments ago that the Nerazzurri will make the signing of Bisseck official after their talks conclude with the 22-year-old Germany youth international’s club.

According to Di Marzio, Bisseck has now signed his contract with Inter.

The German was at the Nerazzurri’s headquarters today. There, he underwent his medical exams, and then put pen to paper on a five-year deal.

However, Di Marzio reports, Inter still have to work out the payment with Bisseck’s club Aarhus.

The Nerazzurri reportedly don’t want to pay the full €7 million release clause for the 22-year-old.

Aarhus had initially confirmed that Inter had signalled their intention to pay that amount in two equal instalments, this triggering the release clause.

However, Di Marzio, Inter are still in talks with the Danish club. They are looking to agree a different payment structure, possibly involving add-ons.

Di Marzio: Inter Milan Will Sign Yann Bisseck After Aarhus Talks Conclude

One way or the other, however, Inter will sign Aarhus. If they cannot agree a different deal with the Danish club, then they will simply trigger the player’s release clause.

Bisseck will reportedly join as a backup to Alessandro Bastoni. During the season just gone the 24-year-old has had no real deputy in the squad.

Either Francesco Acerbi has shifted to the left or Federico Dimarco has moved into defense when Bastoni has been out.

Now the Nerazzurri will have a true backup for Bastoni. Bisseck is used to playing on the left of a back three despite being right-footed.

Moreover, the versatile Bisseck could also used on the right side of defense.

The departures of Milan Skriniar and Danilo D’Ambrosio have given the Nerazzurri further impetus to go after a new defensive signing.

Bisseck will be the first defensive signing of the summer for Inter.
