Leon Jakirovic landed in Milan last night. The young defender, born in 2008, is about to officially become an Inter player, with his medical examinations scheduled for today.
The deal with Dinamo Zagreb was closed on the basis of 2.5 million euros, with a further 2 million linked to bonuses. Once the bureaucratic process is completed, the Croatian will join the nerazzurri Under 23 team, although on some occasions he will have the opportunity to train with the first team.
As written by Corriere dello Sport, Jakirovic represents an important investment for Inter’s youth sector. The defender, considered one of the most interesting prospects in Croatian football, will have the opportunity to grow gradually within the nerazzurri system, with the chance to impress even the technical staff of the main team.
The arrival of the 2008-born player confirms the club’s strategy of focusing on young talents to develop over time. The total amount of the deal, which can reach up to 4.5 million euros including bonuses, demonstrates the trust placed in the boy’s qualities.
