Inter leading the race to sign Marcos Paulo: Nerazzurri in discussions to close deal for Fluminense's striker

Inter are leading the race to sign Brazilian striker Marcos Paulo. The Nerazzurri have been following the Brazilian, who has also got a Portuguese passport, for three years and are now in discussions to forestall the competition and secure the signature of the player for next June, when he will leave Fluminense on a free transfer.

The 2001-born striker was also in the radar of Parma and Torino, but now the Nerazzurri are in the lead to bring the forward in Italy.
