Serie A giants Inter Milan have beaten Chelsea to sign Lazio winger Antonio Candreva.
A deal has now been agreed for the Italy International and he could be presented as early as on Monday.
Chelsea have been heavily linked with the 29-year-old winger and with Antonio Conte making him a priority signing this coming transfer window. The interest seemed to have wittled down from the Blues as Conte focuses on more important areas of need.
According to other reports from around world, Candreva is all set to join the Serie A giants with a transfer fee in the ball park region of €25m being agreed. However, Inter are most likely to pay either €21m plus €4m in bonuses or €22m plus €3m.
