Inter Milan and Genoa are in talks to finalize the loan deal of attacking midfielder Valentin Carboni for next season.
This according to Ligurian newspaper Il Secolo XIX, via FCInterNews.
At the moment, Valentin Carboni is a part of Inter’s senior squad.
The Argentine’s loan spell with Marseille last campaign ended prematurely. This following an ACL tear that he suffered during the autumn.
Carboni spent much of last season recovering from that injury.
And having fully healed from that devastating knee injury, Carboni was ready to travel to the United States for the Club World Cup this summer.
Carboni got his share of playing time for Inter Milan at the Club World Cup.
Most notably, the 20-year-old scored Inter’s stoppage time winner against Urawa Red Diamonds.
This summer, though, the priority has been to find Carboni a new club where he’d play regularly.
And it is Genoa who have stepped up to the fore to sign the 20-year-old.
Grifone coach Patrick Vieira is a big admirer of Carboni’s. He feels that the Argentine is the right player to inject some quality into the Ligurian team’s attack.
Therefore, Genoa have been pushing to sign Carboni on loan. And they are close to an agreement both with Inter and with the player.
According to Il Secolo XIX, the contacts between the two clubs are now ongoing.
The Nerazzurri and the Grifone are just wrapping up the final details of the loan deal.
According to Il Secolo XIX, Inter will pay Genoa a bonus based on the amount of playing time that Carboni receives. Therefore, the two clubs are working out the terms for that bonus.
