Inter: Berardi meets agent today
Sassuolo's Domenico Berardi will meet his agent today to decide on Inter's offer, indirectly affecting the future of Lazio's Antonio Candreva.
The 21-year-old became the object of a heated exchange among top Serie A representatives, as sporting director Beppe Marotta spoke out on behalf of spurned club Juventus and said the striker would not join Inter.
Marotta was then silenced by Berardi's agent as well as by Sassuolo's general manager Giovanni Carnevali, but no progress could be made on the deal until the player returned from holiday and considered the offer in person.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Neroverde poacher is back in Italy today and will meet his agent. Inter are offering €25m to Sassuolo and a salary of €2.5m yearly for five years.
It's unclear when exactly Berardi will provide a response, although Inter can't afford to wait too long as they have a related deal pending for Lazio's Candreva.
The Biscione are willing to offer €16m plus a maximum of €4m in bonuses for the Azzurro winger, but president Claudio Lotito wants between €25m and €30m.
Yesterday Candreva's agent met the Lazio president in an effort to persuade him to accept a discount.
Should Berardi accept a transfer, the deal for Candreva will be dropped.

Di Francesco: ‘Berardi wants to play’
By Football Italia staff
Eusebio Di Francesco believes Domenico Berardi stayed at Sassuolo because “he worried about not playing enough” at Juventus.
The forward was expected to make the move to Turin this summer, as the two clubs had a gentleman’s agreement following the resolution of his co-ownership last year.
However, the Italian Under-21 international has opted to stay with the Neroverdi for their Europa League campaign.
“Berardi is an amazing lad,” Di Francesco told Il Centro.
“He’s attached to Sassuolo and to me. In my opinion, he’s ready for a great team, maybe he thinks that’s Sassuolo and therefore he stayed.
“Juventus? Maybe he was worried about not playing enough. It’s hard to accept the change, and I’m happy to get to Coach him again.
“In the future his growth with coincide with accepting a new challenge.”
