He seems to be forcing his way to Inter by rejecting offers from other clubs.
A free loan with an option is a nice deal, but 6m seems a bit excessive for a player we can get for free in the next transfer window, or maybe that amount already includes some add-ons. Let's see how this transfer goes.
Regarding the contract extension with Roma, I think Roma had the advantage of getting a fee from a player who was going to leave on a free transfer in June.
By extending his contract for another season, they still had the chance to sell him elsewhere if we didn't trigger the buyout.
I've forgotten which Roma game I'm watching, but I think he's really out of form, unlike his emergence where he showed some potential under Mou.
Anyway, he's a ball carrier, comfortable on both feet, can cover both flanks, relatively young with potential of resale value which is what Oaktree policy is looking for.
I still see him as an upgrade over Buchanan for backup options.
