Inter Milan are one step away from signing Tomas Perez from Newell’s Old Boys, only to loan him out to Como effective immediately.

According to Ovacion via FCInterNews, Simone Inzaghi’s men have intensified talks with the player’s agent, Marcelo Simonian, in recent days.

Beppe Marotta will soon meet Newell’s president, Ignacio Astore, to iron out the final details.

Indeed, it shouldn’t take more than a few days before the Serie A champions announce Perez’s arrival.

Meanwhile, they have postponed their pursuit of Perez’s clubmate, Mateo Silvetti, until further notice.

Inter Milan Set to Loan Impending Arrival Tomas Perez Out to Como

Despite his undeniable talent, Perez will likely need time to adapt to the new surroundings.

Like Tomas Palacios, the 19-year-old can’t expect to join Inzaghi’s first-team squad from the start.

However, unlike his compatriot, he’ll leave Giuseppe Meazza to gain experience.

Serie A newcomers Como have emerged as the likeliest candidates to acquire his services temporarily.

Indeed, it could be Inter’s attempt to lay the groundwork for Nico Paz’s arrival in the summer.

Paz is one of the club’s top targets amid intense speculation linking Davide Frattesi with a return to Roma.


But Inter won’t accelerate talks with Como until the end of the season.
