Inter close to Zukanovic deal

By Football Italia staff

Inter are reportedly close to finalising a deal for Chievo full-back Ervin Zukanovic to arrive at San Siro this summer.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Bosnian defender has been tracked for over a year by Nerazzurri sporting director Piero Ausilio and chief scout Massimiliano Ausilio.

The 28-year-old, who can play either in central defence or as a left-back, is on loan at the Flying Donkeys from Belgian side Gent.

According to the report, Chievo are willing to take the option to buy Zukanovic at the end of his loan for €1 million in order to then sell him on to Inter for a fee of around €3.5 million.

The newspaper also suggested that the probable arrival of the Bosnian international could put the futures of Juan Jesus and Yuto Nagatomo in doubt.

Zukanovic has made 26 Serie A appearances for the Gialloblu this season, scoring two goals and making two assists.
