Inter Milan are in advanced talks with Atalanta for Roberto Gagliardini.
Italian transfer expert Alfredo Pedulla reports all parties have agreed terms, with the finishing touches now being put on the deal.
Inter will pay a generous €6 million to take Gagliardini on a six-month loan ahead of signing him permanently this summer for €25 million.
Gagliardini has also enthusiastically given his approval to an immediate move.
Atalanta are now pushing Inter to include a player in the deal - with Rodrigo Palacio on the agenda.
