Atletico agree to Vrsaljko-Inter?

By Football Italia staff

It is reported that Atletico Madrid have agreed to allow Croatian full-back Sime Vrsaljko to move to Inter.

Gazzetta dello Sport reports the 26-year-old will head to San Siro on an initial year-long loan deal, with the Nerazzurri having the option to sign him outright next summer.

The Milan club will pay a fee of €8m for the loan part of the deal, with a further €18m due if they opt to make the transfer permanent.

Vrsaljko has enjoyed a successful 2018. As well as featuring prominently in Croatia’s run to this summer’s World Cup final, he helped Atleti win the Europa League at the end of last season, beating Marseille in the final.

According to the Italian daily, the deal has been agreed in principle and is close to being completed.

As such, Vrsaljko is set for a return to Serie A, where he previously played for Sassuolo before moving to the Spanish capital.
