Inter are nearing a deal for Sporting Clube de Portugal midfielder Joao Mario as they prepare to accept a higher payment for him.
The Euro 2016 winner has been linked with a move to Italy all summer and now a deal looks set to be finalised now that the Nerazzurri have given in with regards to Sporting’s money demands.
The Serie A side had previously refused to budge from €35 million for the 23-year-old, however reports from GazzaMercato suggest they will now accept the Portuguese club’s demands of €50m.
GazzaMercato also suggests that, with the signing of Mario almost complete, Roberto Mancini and the rest of the Inter management are now turning their attention towards 19-year-old Brazilian Gabriel Jesus.
However, the Biscione will have to wait until January to bring in the forward, who has scored 19 goals in 38 games so far for Palmeiras.
