Benfica reportedly want Lisandro Lopez to join Inter on loan with obligation to buy, whereas the Nerazzurri would prefer an option, but a deal seems imminent.
The defender is heading to San Siro, with multiple sources including Sky Sport Italia, FCInterNews.it and Sportitalia all confident it is down to the details.
The only divergence between these many reports is on the exact figure of the option, but that may well depend on another issue being discussed.

The only divergence between these many reports is on the exact figure of the option, but that may well depend on another issue being discussed.
According to FCInter1908.it, Benfica want to make the move on loan with obligation to buy at the end of the season, whereas Inter would prefer it be an option that they could pass on come July.
The cost of the option ranges from €8m to €12.5m, depending largely on how much Inter must pay for the six-month loan and if Benfica are guaranteed a sale this summer.
Inter cannot sign any players outright in the January transfer window, as they would otherwise break their Financial Fair Play parameters.
Lisandro Lopez is no stranger to Serie A, as over the last three years he has been very close to Fiorentina and Roma, but could never finalise the deal.
