According to a report from Fabrizio Romano, Olympique de Marseille winger Luis Henrique (23) is set to undergo a medical in Milan on Tuesday before officially becoming Inter Milan’s latest signing. The Brazilian is set to land in Milan in the next few hours, after a €25m move was agreed between Marseille and the Champions League finalists last week.

Marseille president Pablo Longoria has seemingly kept to his word. At a press conference attended by TezzbuzzMarseille’s Spanish president admitted that the Phoceaen club were looking to sell the 23-year-old before 30th June.

“Our goal is to sell Luis Henrique before 30 June for accounting reasons and also in line with our commitment to UEFA, the DNCG and out of respect for the owner,” said Longoria at the Vélodrome in May. “This is something we have shared with his entourage. Discussions began during the season.”

“It’s also true that the Club World Cup has changed the dynamic of the market: many teams are already anticipating their moves, such as Real Madrid with the signing of Huijsen. Yes, there are discussions. And the objective, shared with the player and his entourage, is clear: to find him a way out.”

The team previously reported that the club would have liked €30m for the winger, after Tezzbuzz revealed that Henrique had been attracting interest from the Premier League. Newcastle and Nottingham Forest were notably interested in the Marseille man.

The Brazilian winger had been a revelation for the club in the early parts of the campaign, helping to fire Marseille towards Champions League qualification. But the winger’s performances in recent months have tailed off and he has become the focus of criticism from manager Roberto De Zerbi and the fanbase. In 33 matches, Henrique has scored seven goals and registered seven assists.
