Inter Milan will extend the contract of Valentin Carboni to increase his wages before he goes on loan to Marseille.
This according to today’s print edition of Turin-based newspaper Tuttosport, via FCInterNews.
Inter attacking midfielder Carboni is now right on the verge of a move to Marseille.
The Ligue 1 club have been pushing for the deal for weeks now. And it will be on an initial paid loan.
The reason for the loan is that Inter’s high valuation means that Marseille would hardly be able to afford paying a fee for Carboni up front.
However, there will be a purchase option in the deal.
Reports indicate that Marseille will pay Inter a loan fee of €1-1.5 million to sign Carboni initially. Then,
Then, the French side will have a purchase option to make Carboni’s loan deal permanent. They can do so for a fee of €40 million or so.
Inter, on the other hand, will also have a buyback option.
In the event that Marseille sign Carboni on a permanent basis the Nerazzurri can immediately sign the Argentine right back for a fee a few million euros higher than Mareille pay for him.
Why Inter Milan Extending Valentin Carboni Contract Before Marseille Loan
Inter will be extending Carboni’s contract prior to sending him on loan to Marseille.
The question could be asked of exactly why that is the case.
Carboni is currently under contract with Inter until the end of June 2028. Therefore, it is not as though an imminently expiring deal would pose any problems for his loan move.
However, it is a matter of wages, reports Tuttosport.
Carboni earns €800,000 net per season at present.
That hardly reflects the fact that the teenager is now a fully-fledged senior player.
The transfer fee that Marseille could pay for Carboni is an indication of the Argentine’s real value.
Therefore, Inter will hand Carboni a new deal that is more suitable to his growth in the last twelve months.
The Nerazzurri will not have to pay the 19-year-old his new wages, however. Rather, that will be the responsibility of Marseille per the terms of the loan deal.
