Inter talent Berenbruch to snub Cagliari and Serie A for Utrecht loan | OneFootball

Thomas Berenbruch looks set to leave Inter this summer, with a move to Serie A off the table.

According to transfer reporter Giorgio Musso, of CalcioMercato.it, the young midfielder is on the verge of joining Dutch side Utrecht, ruling out a switch to Cagliari or a stay in the Italian top flight.

The 2005-born midfielder had been linked with a move within Serie A, but it is Utrecht who appear poised to land him.

The Eredivisie club are no strangers to his situation, having also pursued the youngster last summer before missing out, and are now closing in on their target at the second attempt.

The deal is reported to be structured as a loan, allowing Berenbruch to gain regular senior minutes away from the San Siro.

For a talented youngster in need of game time, a spell in the Eredivisie, a league with a strong record of developing young players, represents a logical next step, with Utrecht having clearly kept tabs on him since their initial interest a year ago.
