Inter meeting for promising 18-year-old Croatian defender | OneFootball

Inter have set their sights on promising Hajduk Split centre-back Branimir Mlacic and could have a new meeting with the Croatian club later this month.

Serie A giants Inter are interested in signing 18-year-old Hajduk Split centre-back Mlacic.

The news was first reported by the Croatian website Germanijak, which claimed that Nerazzurri emissaries had already met Hajduk Split directors last week.

The idea would be to secure a deal now, but leave the player on loan at Hajduk Split until the end of the season.

Inter in no hurry to welcome Mlacic in January

What I can add is that Inter don’t need to complete the deal in January, unless different opportunities emerge. They will also work calmly on negotiations for young players like the one involving the 18-year-old centre-back.

The Serie A giants have been following Mlacic for some time, and, in the future, there will be new meetings, perhaps even this month, to reach a solution that can satisfy everyone.
