OM, Inter Milan: the crazy financial details of the Valentin Carboni case

This would be another big move by the Marseille management. Even more so when we see the questions the Inter leaders are asking when it comes to letting go of Valentin Carboni. Yes, no, maybe, a dry loan, with an option to buy, with a return clause… The Italian press has reported many twists and turns since the beginning of this saga.

According to our information, the file is almost closed between all parties for a loan with an option to buy. But Inter Milan continues to hesitate on the best formula. And the versions evolve regularly. Thus, in today’s edition, The Sports Gazette mentions a paying loan of €2 million with a purchase option of €40 million. A fairly substantial sum, whereas the amount mentioned until then was more like €35 million.

A return clause?

But that’s not all, since Inter would like to include a buyout clause, which would then be valued at €45 million. And before that, the player should sign a contract extension with the Lombard club, even though he is already tied until 2028. An extension that is more symbolic than anything else, since it would mainly be a question of proving to him that Inter Milan is ready to rely on him in the future.

Carboni is therefore at the heart of the debates in Italy, while the player is still on vacation after his participation in the Copa America with the Argentine national team. His return is expected for August 7, but there is no guarantee that he will return to Italy. OM is more than ever on the verge of attracting this great hope of world football, aged 19.
