CdS: Rodriguez has given his ok to the transfer. Will come in January or in June
According to Corriere dello Sport, Inter and the entourage of Ricardo Rodriguez have had frutiful talks about the future of the Swiss international. Talks that imply that Rodriguez will choose Inter instead of Chelsea and PSG. The only uncertainty now is when the deal will be finalised. Inter needs a loan deal with an option to buy the player in June since the club is under Financial Fair Play restrictions. Should Wolfsburg want 22 million euros upfront, a January transfer is impossible even if Banega would make it to China. So far this is the main issue that has to be resolved unless the transfer will be postponed to June.
Di Marzio: Inter chase after Ricardo Rodriguez – 22M Euros is the price tag
While the main objective for the January transfer window is to temporary patch holes in rosters mid-way through a season, it is also important to plan ahead for the future. That’s exactly what Inter is doing as they’re looking to secure Wolfsburg‘s Ricardo Rodriguez. The 24 year old Swiss defender has an exit clause of 22M Euros, but a deal can be made at 20. French side Paris Saint Germain are also in the race, but Rodriguez would prefer Serie A.
