Provedel Agreed as Inter’s Goalkeeper Reinforcement
Inter have completed negotiations with Lazio for the transfer of goalkeeper Ivan Provedel. The 32-year-old Italian will join the club for a fee of 3 million euros, penning a contract that will keep him at the Giuseppe Meazza for three years. Provedel is poised to assume the role of second-choice goalkeeper under Cristian Chivu, supporting Josep Martinez. Martinez, previously the back-up, is set to be promoted to the starting position for the forthcoming season after Yann Sommer’s departure.

Palestra Move Nears Completion with New Offer
In parallel, Inter is advancing talks for another significant addition: wing-back Marco Palestra. The club are ready to table an improved proposal, amounting to 50 million euros including bonuses, in order to meet Atalanta’s asking price for the 21-year-old. An agreement is anticipated early next week, as Palestra has already settled personal terms with the Nerazzurri, accepting a five-year contract at a salary of 3 million euros per season.
| Player | From | To | Fee (EUR) | Contract Length | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ivan Provedel | Lazio | Inter | 3,000,000 | 3 years | Second-choice goalkeeper |
| Marco Palestra | Atalanta | Inter | 50,000,000 (with bonuses) | 5 years | Wing-back |
Contract Details and Squad Implications
Provedel, aged 32, arrives to bolster Inter’s options between the posts and will be a back-up to Josep Martinez, who steps up in the pecking order after Yann Sommer’s move away. Meanwhile, should negotiations for Marco Palestra prove successful, the highly-rated wing-back will sign for five years with a 3 million euro annual salary, further strengthening Inter’s squad for the season ahead.
