Inter €15m swoop for Alario

By Football Italia staff

Inter are prepared to activate Lucas Alario’s €15m release clause to get him from River Plate, according to TMW.

Tuttomercatoweb claim the Nerazzurri will have a meeting with agent Pedro Aldave in Milan tomorrow evening.

The deal is very close to completion, because there need be no negotiations.

Inter are ready to pay the full €15m release clause in his contract and bring him to San Siro immediately.

The 23-year-old striker is tied to River Plate until June 2018.

He has an Italian passport, so can be registered as an EU player.

Everton are also believed to be interested, but the Argentine prefers Serie A football.

Alario moved from Colon to River last summer for €2m, scoring 17 goals with five assists in 36 competitive games.

It’s expected he could sign a contract with wages rising every year to eventually reach €2m per season with Inter.
