Inter Milan are reportedly intensifying their pursuit of Hajduk Split defender Branimir Mlacic to anticipate competition from abroad.

According to the Italian media via FCInterNews, the Nerazzurri are moving decisively to sign the prodigious center-back.

Despite his young age, Branimir Mlacic has already established himself as a permanent first-team fixture at Hajduk.

Indeed, the 18-year-old has made 14 league appearances this season, adding three more in the UEFA Conference League qualifiers.

Furthermore, his meteoric rise at Poljud has not gone unnoticed.

Indeed, talks are underway as the Serie A giants aim to close the deal soon.

Meanwhile, Hajduk are open to cashing in on their academy graduate, with Inter expected to pay around €5 million for the teenager.
