Inter Milan Pushing To Wrap Up Signing Of Spain International This Week | OneFootball

Inter Milan are pushing to wrap up the signing of Genoa goalkeeper Josep Martinez by the end of this week.

This according to Italian broadcaster Sky Sport Italia, via FCInterNews.

Martinez is the player who Inter have settled on to sign as a new keeper.

The Nerazzurri have been aiming to sign a young goalkeeper as one of their main priorities this summer. Firstly, to back up Yann Sommer next season. And then to take over as the starter in the long term.

The Nerazzurri have also been monitoring other profiles.

Bento is a long-term target, although negotiations with Athletico Paranaense for the Brazilian international are tough.

Meanwhile, Inter have also been linked with Udinese’s Maduka Okoye and Lazio’s Christos Mandas from within Serie A. And they also met with the agent of Villarreal keeper Filip Jorgensen on Wednesday.

But at the moment, it is Martinez who Inter are pursuing.

The Nerazzurri are moving swiftly in talks with Genoa to try and sign the 26-year-old former RB Leipzig keeper.
