Inter get serious for Joao Mario. As we mentioned yesterday the nerazzurri have returned to the idea of the 23-year-old Sporting Lisbon midfielder. Kia Joorabchian, the agent of the player and intermediary for new owners the Suning Group, has travelled to Lisbon to speak to Sporting President, Bruno De Carvalho. The offer on the table is €45 million plus a bonus of €5 million.
 

The Portuguese club continues to ask for the €60 million buy-out clause but this new offering, plus the desire of the player to head to Milan, could push the club to part with their star midfielder. A player that Suning wanted to gift to Mancini, may now be arriving at the court of de Boer.
