Ivan Provedel to Join Inter on €3m Deal, Medical Imminent

Inter are on the verge of signing goalkeeper Ivan Provedel from Lazio, with a fee of approximately €3 million agreed and a three-year contract worth €1.5 million net per season ready for the player to sign.

According to Tuttosport via Tuttomercatoweb, Provedel is expected in Milan imminently to undergo medical examinations before putting pen to paper on a deal running through to 2029. The agreement between the clubs has been finalised after a negotiation in which Lazio initially sought closer to €4–5 million before converging on Inter’s valuation.

The move has been in motion for several weeks. As SempreInter reported in June, the Nerazzurri had identified Provedel as their primary goalkeeping target, with personal terms reached before the club-to-club fee was resolved. The process accelerated once Inter cleared their UEFA Settlement Agreement obligations, giving the club cleaner room to operate in the market.

Tzolakis Was Inter’s Fallback Option

Tuttosport also reveals that Inter had a contingency ready. Had the Lazio talks broken down, sporting director Beppe Marotta’s staff had identified Konstantinos Tzolakis – the 2002-born Olympiacos goalkeeper with Greek international experience – as the primary alternative. Inter ultimately did not need to pursue that route.

Provedel slots in as the experienced backup to Josep Martínez, completing the goalkeeping hierarchy under Cristian Chivu. Yann Sommer’s departure had left the position vacant, and at €3 million for a goalkeeper with top-flight Lazio experience, the Nerazzurri have addressed it at minimal cost. A formal announcement is expected within days once the remaining paperwork is exchanged.
