Inter are close to finalising a deal to sign highly-rated Cagliari midfielder Nicolo Barella, as talks between the two clubs for a €45m deal near completion.
Barella impressed in the Italian Under-21 squad at this summer's European Championships, where the Azzuri won two of their three matches.
As revealed by Italian football journalist Fabrizio Romano, the deal to bring Barella to San Siro is very close as the two clubs have met on Tuesday in an attempt to complete the transfer.
The midfielder is set to become the seventh signing for new Inter boss Antonio Conte, who joined the Serie A giants at the end of May, taking over from Luciano Spalletti.
