Inter Milan and Marseille have agreed on a deal worth €25 million for winger Luis Henrique.

This according to SportItalia transfer market expert Alfredo Pedulla. He reports on his homepage that the two clubs are close to coming to an agreement regarding a fee.

Inter Milan have decided on Luis Henrique as their priority target at wingback.

The Brazilian is the player the Nerazzurri want as backup and competition for Denzel Dumfries on the right flank.

Inter already have a number of options on the flanks. Matteo Darmian has been the main backup for Dumfries for a few seasons now.

But the Nerazzurri are prioritizing adding real quality in the role. Particularly with Darmian now 35 and being phased out, as well as also playing in defense.
