Report:
Frankfurt prepared to flash cash in pursuit of Serie A striker
By Peter Weis @PeterVicey
Italian transfer expert Gianluca di Marzio reports that Eintracht Frankfurt currently engage in deep negotiations to acquire striker Andrea Pinamonti from Inter Milan.
The player in question, often loaned-out Italy U21 star Andrea Pinamonti, will be acquired from Antonio Conté's Inter Milan on a loan. The Serie A club attaches conditions, however. The SGE must assume full responsibility for the 21-year-old's wages. Furthermore, an automatic purchase clause must be bound to the agreement.
Reports suggest a purchase amount of around €14-15 million in addition to a loan fee around €1.8 million. Italy's Gianluca di Marzio reports that the Bundesliga side have agreed in principle to all three of the demands.
A possible stumbling block to deal remains. Pinamonti is not said to be enthusiastic about leaving Italy.
