Ivan Provedel is headed to Inter after three weeks of talks, with Lazio giving the green light in the evening and the transfer unlocked for about three million euro. The goalkeeper is expected to undergo medical examinations next week, the last formal step before the move is completed.
That is why Provedel is being searched now: the deal changed hands late in the day, but the paperwork still has one more checkpoint to pass. For Inter, the agreement adds a new piece to a squad plan built around the need for a reliable goalkeeper, while Lazio accepts a departure that also changes the shape of its next season.
The transfer is part of a wider market picture at Lazio, where arrivals and exits are moving at the same time. Alfonso Pedraza arrived in Rome three days ago and is only waiting for the official announcement to become Lazio’s new left back, while Nuno Tavares could again draw interest from Porto and Luca Pellegrini is considered on the margins of the technical project, waiting for concrete offers.
There is still more movement around the squad. Fiorentina asked for information about Christos Mandas, Lazio is considering a move for Pietro Comuzzo, a defender born in 2005, and the club is also interested in Andrea Pinamonti of Sassuolo, who is valued at at least 15 million euro. Danilo Cataldi is in talks over a two-year renewal even though his contract runs to 2027, and Asp Jensen of Bayern Monaco has reportedly asked his entourage to turn down other offers because he wants Serie A.
The friction is that Provedel’s transfer is being described as completed in the evening even though the medical examinations are only scheduled for next week. That gap does not change the direction of the deal, but it shows how far the agreement has moved and how little now stands between a late-night handshake and a finished transfer. For Lazio, the next days should bring clarity on Provedel’s exit and on whether the club’s wider reshaping keeps accelerating.
For readers following Materazzi and the rest of the transfer market, the Provedel deal is the clearest sign that Lazio’s summer is now being defined as much by departures as by arrivals.
