Inter Milan are confident of securing Samir Handanovic to a new deal in the coming weeks.
The goalkeeper has been a bright light for Inter during a difficult two years.
FCInterNews.it reports new contract talks are progressing well and Handanovic is expected to put pen to paper on a new deal to 2019.
Nerazzurri midfielder Mateo Kovacic, meanwhile, is also just a step away from penning new terms.
However, attempts to open talks over a new contract with Mauro Icardi remain stalled.
