Inter Milan are on the verge of reaching agreements to sign Genoa goalkeeper Josep Martinez and Venezia midfielder Tanner Tessmann.
This is reported by the Italian channel Sky Sport Italia, FCInterNews.
Inter’s transfer window is already underway.
The Nerazzurri will not enjoy an eventful summer like last time.
Last summer, twelve left Inter and twelve came here to update them.
This summer window, Inter’s priority is to keep the existing team together. There is not a great preference for playing excessively with a team that has just won the Serie A name in dominant fashion.
This means, however, that Inter will signal any signs.
And there are a few profiles for which the club is in a position to evolve.
One of Inter’s most sensible priorities at the start of the transfer window is to sign a goalkeeper on a long-term basis.
While the club is silent on the other fronts of the transfer market, the Nerazzurri are taking advantage of this summer to move forward with the succession plan between the positions.
Inter know Martinez from Genoa as their target.
The Nerazzurri need the 26-year-old former RB Leipzig goalkeeper for Yann Sommer’s update next season. Then, in the coming seasons, he will update the Swiss permanently.
Inter and Genoa have been in talks for Martinez for about a week.
Grifone have an initial valuation of 18 million euros in the Spanish international.
But Inter intend to pay an amount of between 12 and 13 million euros for Martinez. Then, he will also send a player back and forth to make up the difference.
Meanwhile, Martinez is the only player Inter are in negotiations to sign.
Sky reports that talks between Inter and Venezia for the transfer of 22-year-old American midfielder Tanner Tessmann are progressing rapidly.
Venezia a payment of between 7 and 8 million euros for Tessmann.
Inter’s plan would be to sign the American this summer and then return him to Venice for next season.
