Inter Milan established a historic 25-point record at the top of Serie A after grinding out a 2-0 win over Venezia courtesy of two late own goals. Standout goalkeeper Ivan Provedel praised his team's defensive resilience as the squad turns its complete focus to Saturday's colossal derby against AC Milan.
Inter Milan head coach Cristian Chivu handed summer arrival Ivan Provedel his Nerazzurri debut for Sunday's Serie A clash against Fiorentina. Chivu also selected veteran midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan to start at San Siro as Inter look to keep pace with league leaders Lazio.
Inter have taken a significant step in fortifying their squad for the upcoming campaign by reaching a total agreement for Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel. The 32-year-old shot-stopper is set to join the reigning Serie A champions after seeing his role in the capital diminish following a change in management.
Lazio are considering possible future transfer scenarios for the goalkeeper position. Provedel could leave, Mandas could return, and Motta is a reliable option.
