Serie B team Lecco have completed the signing of striker Eddie Salcedo on loan from Inter Milan for the second half of the season.
The second division side confirmed the 22-year-old’s arrival in a post on Twitter.
Young striker Salcedo was on loan with Eldense in the Spanish Segunda Division for the first half of the season.
But the Italian Under-21 international’s future is not in Spain.
The Italian youth team international made twelve appearances for Eldense, and scored just two goals.
Salcedo was the subject of interest from a few different teams in Serie B, reports suggest.
But it is Lecco who have won the race to bring the Inter-owned striker to the Italian second division.
Lecce Complete Loan Signing Of Eddie Salcedo From Inter
Lecco were the team to move decisively for Salcedo.
The Serie B side have confirmed that he will be with the club until the end of the current campaign.
Reports have suggested that Lecco will also have a purchase option to sign Salcedo on a permanent basis at the end of the season.
During the 2019-20 and 2020-21 seasons, the young Italian striker was on loan at Hellas Verona. Playing for the Gialloblu, Salcedo developed a fair bit under coach Ivan Juric.
Then, in the summer of 2021, he made the switch to join Spezia on loan.
During the following season in Liguria, Salcedo found playing time difficult to come by. The fact that Spezia were fighting off relegation and largely relied on experienced and proven players certainly didn’t help his cause.
Last summer, Salcedo joined Bari on loan in Serie B.
There, he spent the first half of the season.
However, in the January transfer window, Salcedo made the switch to his former club Genoa.
It had been the Grifone who had sold Salcedo to Inter in the first place.
The young striker helped the Ligurians achieve promotion to Serie A, bouncing straight back after a season in the second division.
