Another steal for Inter Milan! Nerazzurri close in on bargain €6m transfer as they snatch highly-rated youngster from Serie A rivals

The 23-year-old has reportedly agreed to stay at Inter permanently, and the club is now working to seal a deal. The Champions League finalists signed the Polish defender on loan from Roma in the January window and included a buy option worth €6million, which is set to be triggered according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.

Zalewski has featured in 12 matches for the club, scoring once and providing one assist. The hierarchy at Inter have appreciated his performances and now consider him as the backup to left-wing-back Federico Dimarco. The 23-year-old notably set up Inter's equaliser against fierce rivals AC Milan back in February, despite playing only 14 minutes.

Zalewski scored his first and so far only goal for Inter in their 2-0 win over Torino on Sunday. The victory moved them to within one point of league leaders Napoli, who were held to a 2-2 draw at home by Genoa. The Poland international has earned 27 caps and scored three goals for his country.

Inter will play Lazio and Como in Serie A as they attempt to pip Napoli to the league title, before turning their attention to the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on May 31. Victory in either competition - particularly in Europe - is likely to strengthen Simone Inzaghi's transfer budget, ensuring more new arrivals this summer.
