Hajduk Split teenager Branimir Mlacic is reportedly one step away from joining Serie A pacesetters Inter Milan. 

According to Gazzetta dello Sport via FCInter1908, the clubs could finalize their agreement by the end of the day.

Cristian Chivu’s men have been trying to sign Branimir Mlacic for weeks.

Despite facing stiff competition from top European clubs, Inter are on the verge of winning the race for Mlacic’s signature.

Indeed, they’ve scheduled a decisive meeting with the player’s entourage for today, with Inter already receiving Hajduk’s go-ahead.

The Nerazzurri are expected to shell out around €4 million to close the deal.

Furthermore, they’ll let Mlacic stay in Split on loan until the end of the season to aid his development.

Therefore, after signing Leon Jakirovic, the Serie A giants are close to capturing another Croatian talent.
