Inter are on the verge of signing Lazio goalkeeper Ivan Provedel, according to his agent Gianni Rava. Rava confirmed to FcInter1908 that negotiations are at an advanced stage, expressing optimism that the transfer will be completed imminently. No fee has been disclosed at this time.
Provedel has been a long-time supporter of Inter, and Rava stated that joining the Nerazzurri would represent a “closing of the circle” for the player. The agent indicated that Provedel is eager to compete for a place in the Inter squad, having progressed significantly throughout his career. He also noted he hadn't spoken to Inter assistant coach Cristian Chivu recently, and was awaiting final details to be confirmed.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper joined Lazio in 2022 from Spezia and quickly established himself as a key player, playing a vital role in their Champions League qualification and Coppa Italia triumph. Last season, Provedel made 38 appearances in Serie A, keeping 14 clean sheets. He has become known for his commanding presence in the box and ability to play out from the back.
Inter are seeking a replacement for Yann Sommer, who is reportedly attracting interest from other clubs. The potential arrival of Provedel would provide competition for places and strengthen their goalkeeping options ahead of the new season. Inter finished second in Serie A last season, and will be hoping to challenge for the title again next year. This move could be a key step in bolstering their squad to achieve that goal.
Provedel’s career has seen him move through several Italian clubs, including Pescara, Viterbese, Carpi, and Spezia, before finding success at Lazio. His journey reflects a determined climb through the ranks, and his potential move to Inter represents a significant reward for his perseverance. The transfer is expected to be a permanent deal, though the specifics of the contract length and financial details remain undisclosed.
