REPORT: Joao Mario wants Inter at all costs!
The two sides are reportedly haggling over €5 million: whilst the Lions want €50 million for their star midfielder, the Nerazzurri won't pay more than €40 million plus bonuses, which should take the total sum to no more than 45m.
The details seem to be clear enough: Inter would bring the Portuguese international in on a 10m loan, but would be on the hook for a compulsory buyout one year from now.
Mario himself has already agreed to a €3m salary, five times what he earns in Lisbon.
With both sides working hard, we could hear of more developments in as little as a few hours.
