Udinese midfielder Lazar Samardzic has agreed a five-year contract with Inter Milan worth €1.8 million net per season.
This according to Italian news outlet FCInterNews, who report that the 21-yeaar-old has agreed terms with the Nerazzurri, who are now working to get a deal over the line with his club.
Inter have been moving fast in talks to sign Samardzic.
The Nerazzurri have been targeting the German-born Serbian international throughout the summer.
First, he was a player who they had seemingly lined up as an alternative target to Davide Frattesi. However, even after wrapping up a deal to sign Frattesi from Sassuolo, the Nerazzuri have continued to work to sign Samardzic.
Reports suggest that the Nerazzuri want to bring the 21-year-old in as midfield depth to replace Roberto Gagliardini.
And now, Inter are reportedly close to wrapping up a deal to sign Samardzic.
Lazar Samardzic Agrees Five-Year Deal With Inter Milan
According to FCIN, on the player’s end there is total agreement.
Samardzic is keen to make the move, and has already agreed his contract.
FCIN report that the Serb and his agent Rafaela Pimenta have already held talks with Inter in which they’ve agreed on a deal. Samardzic is ready to sign a five-year contract worth €1.8 million net per season.
Meanwhile, Inter have not quite reached the final agreement with Udinese on a transfer.
FCIN confirm reports that midfielder Giovanni Fabbian will be part of the deal.
However, it is not yet certain whether the 20-year-old will join the Friulani on loan or on a permanent basis.
According to FCIN, if Fabbian joins Udinese on a permanent deal then the fee for Samardzic will be €15 million. There would then be a buyback option for Inter.
Meanwhile, if Fabbian joins the Friulani on loan then the fee for Samardzic will be around €25 million.
