Report: Monaco set to send Balde to Inter on loan

Inter's stellar summer shopping spree shows no signs of slowing.

Senegal international forward Keita Balde appears to be the next player to enlist in Luciano Spalletti's ranks, joining I Nerazzurri on a season-long loan from Monaco, according to a report from the Guardian's Fabrizio Romano.

Romano is also reporting that the loan deal features a fee in the neighborhood of €5 million, and includes a €30-million option to buy for the Serie A side eyeing their first league title since 2009-10.

Balde, 23, scored eight goals in 23 Ligue 1 outings for the principality lot following a €30-million move from Lazio last summer.

Inter has already lured a slew of bonafide first-team standouts to the Giuseppe Meazza as they look to end Juventus' seven-year Scudetto reign. Radja Nainggolan, Lautaro Martinez, Sime Vrsaljko, and Stefan de Vrij are among those set to lineup for the 18-time top-flight winners.
