Martinez set for Inter medical this week after final agreement

Inter have their new goalkeeper as multiple sources suggest Josep Martinez will undergo a medical on Thursday as part of a €15.5m move from Genoa.

Negotiations have been going on for a few weeks and initially included a player swap, but Gaetano Oristanio was removed from the package.

Instead, it is a cash-only transfer of €13.5 million, with up to €2 million in potential extras added.

The 26-year-old Spaniard joined Genoa in 2022 on loan from RB Leipzig, making the move permanent for €3.5m the following summer after helping them to promotion.

His first season in Serie A was impressive enough to attract interest from clubs including Inter, Manchester United and Bournemouth.

Martinez will indeed be the understudy to Swiss international goalkeeper Yann Sommer, preparing to take over from him in the future.
