ROMANO: all about Joao Mario's transfer
The famous middleman Kia Joorabchian is in Lisbon to work on the definitive agreement: the Leoes are trying to obtain €50 million including bonuses, while Inter are offering €40 million plus bonuses, for a total amount of €45 million. Moreover, the parties have agreed on a loan with obligation to buy, but they haven’t decided yet the timing of the payments.
However, the 23-year-old has already made a decision about his future: one month ago, after that his transfer to San Siro via Jiangsu Suning failed, he told his current club that he wanted either a much higher salary or a new chance to join the nerazzurri; on the other hand, Joorabchian has convinced Inter that the youngster deserved an important investment.
