Inter Milan and Leicester City are reportedly working on finalizing the transfer of Stefano Sensi before the expiry of the January Mercato.
The Foxes have been trying to lure the Italian midfielder to the East Midlands for weeks now. However, the negotiations have dragged on until deadline day.
Nevertheless, all parties remain eager to put the deal over the line just in time before the market’s closure.
According to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio, the two clubs are currently ironing out the last details.
Once the two sides reach an agreement, Sensi will fly to England to sign his contract with the Championship leaders.
The transfer guru reveals that Inter will collect a bonus of 2.5 million euros if Leicester secure promotion to the Premier League.
This feels like a likely scenario as the Foxes currently lead the Championship table with 10 points separating them from their closest chasers.
The 28-year-old will be looking to reignite his career on the English shores.
