Inter Milan and Hajduk Split have reportedly agreed terms for the transfer of prodigious right-back Duje Slatina to San Siro.
Per Fabrizio Romano via FCInterNews, the parties have agreed all the details of the youngster’s transfer to Lombardy.
Therefore, the 16-year-old will soon become the latest Croatian player to wear the Nerazzurri shirt.
Indeed, there’s a storied history between Inter and Croats.
Petar Sucic has become the last of a long line of Croatian talents to thrive at Inter.
However, this deal slightly differs from Sucic’s arrival.
Unlike the 21-year-old, who’s already part of Cristian Chivu’s squad, Slatina is one for the future.
Denzel Dumfries remains the uncontested owner of a right-wingback position at San Siro.
However, Luis Henrique bids to undermine the Dutchman’s status following his big-money transfer from Marseille.
Therefore, Slatina will likely stay at Hajduk Split to work on his development.
Hopefully, his time will come as the teenager aims to follow in the footsteps of his iconic countrymen.
