Inter reportedly make a decision on signing Hermoso on a free transfer

The potential transfer of Mario Hermoso to Inter Milan appears to have cooled off.

According to reports from Sport Mediaset, Inter Milan have recently decided to definitively abandon their pursuit of the Spanish defender, who has recently been released by Atletico Madrid.

The final decision was heavily influenced by concerns from the club’s ownership regarding Hermoso’s age.

An anonymous source close to the club was quoted saying, “Ultimately, the doubts about Hermoso’s age played a significant role in our decision to reconsider.”

This development puts an end to rumours linking Hermoso with a move to Serie A.

Inter fans will now turn their attention to other targets as the club looks to bolster its defensive options ahead of the new season.
