Tommaso Rocchi has confirmed that he is close to joining Inter after announcing his departure from Lazio.

The 35-year-old participated in his last training session at Formello, the capital outfit's training complex, on Tuesday and is expected to complete his transfer to the Nerazzurri in the coming days.

"[Tuesday was] my last training session here, although there are still some details to tie up before my transfer can be considered complete," he told Lalaziosiamonoi.it.

"I leave Lazio reluctantly. Will I return? Hopefully it will be possible in the future."

Rocchi, who has three caps for Italy, joined Lazio in the summer of 2004 for a fee of €1.5 million from Empoli and scored 105 goals in 284 appearances in all competitions during his time in Rome.
