Matteo Darmian is expected to have his Inter medical tomorrow, leaving Parma for €2.5m.

The deal has been in the works since January and was always waiting for other elements to slot into place first.

It seems as if Darmian has played his final game for the Ducali, with Calciomercato.com reporting he will have his Inter medical on Friday.

The versatile defender can play as a full-back, wing-back or in central defence.

Now 30 years old, Darmian joined Parma last summer for €2.8m from Manchester United.

However, the 32-year-old didn’t want to look for any excuses and claimed Lazio ‘need to be more clinical’ going forward.
