Inter’s main intention is to keep hold of their most-wanted youngster.

As such, Thomas Berenbruch, above everyone else, should stay at Appiano Gentile next season.

Born in 2009, Scarlato is among the most talented products of River Plate’s academy.

Indeed, he’s a versatile attacking midfield, capable of dropping deeper into the park to help in the build-up.

Meanwhile, negotiations are progressing smoothly, meaning Scarlato could soon arrive in Milan to sign papers.
