Inter have agreed a deal to sign Ivan Provedel from Lazio, with the 32-year-old Italy goalkeeper arriving as a backup option from next season. Personal terms were settled long ago — a three-year contract running to 2027 — and the final piece, the fee, has now fallen into place at around €3m after a tug-of-war between the two clubs. Provedel's side and Inter chose each other early; only formalities are said to remain. The story is on firm ground. Fabrizio Romano, a benchmark voice, reports the clubs have agreed, and Alfredo Pedulla — among the most reliable Italian operators — corroborates with 'parti vicinissime', the parties extremely close. Sky Sport Italia, Gianluca Di Marzio and Nicolo Schira all tracked the negotiation from its earlier 'advanced' stage. This is well-sourced across several trusted names, not a thin single link. The 84% figure means this is very likely but not yet done. Both halves of a transfer — the player's terms and the club-to-club fee — are reportedly agreed, which is why confidence sits high. What keeps it short of certainty is that the deal still awaits its formal completion: signatures, paperwork and the official confirmation that turns an agreement into a signing. The money is modest and consistent with Inter's recent business. They paid Roma £7m in 2025 and Club Brugge £6m in 2024 — larger outlays than this — so a fee near £2.5m for a backup goalkeeper fits comfortably within their habits. Watch for the medical and the official announcement. Once those formalities are booked and signed, the agreement becomes a completed transfer.
