Serie A leaders Inter Milan are reportedly on the verge of signing Dinamo Zagreb teenager Leon Jakirovic.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInterNews, the 17-year-old will undergo his medicals tomorrow before penning a multi-year deal.

Despite hitting a major roadblock in their pursuit of Hajduk Split prodigy Branimir Mlacic, Inter will sign another Croatian talent this winter.

Indeed, Leon Jakirovic will arrive in Milan tomorrow after Dinamo Zagreb agreed terms with Inter over his transfer to Italy.

Inter will pay the perennial Croatian champions around €2.5 million plus bonuses to sign the talented defender.

However, Jakirovic will not join the first team straight away.

Instead, he will initially feature for Stefano Vecchi’s U23 squad before earning a chance to put himself at Cristian Chivu’s disposal.

Therefore, the teenage defender is the one for the future.

Meanwhile, Inter have not given up on Mlacic, who could still end up at San Siro.

His new agent, Fali Ramadani, will soon meet the Nerazzurri to reopen talks for the youngster’s switch to Serie A.
