Inter Milan have reportedly agreed a deal with Bologna to sign Algerian international Saphir Taider, according to a number of media outlets in Italy.
Taider has been a consistent performer in Serie A since joining Bologna in 2011, initially signing on a co-ownership deal that included Juventus.
Inter coach Walter Mazzarri is believed to be a long-term admirer of the French-born midfielder and has agreed to pay £4.7m for his services, according to reports.
Taider has agreed a long-term deal at the San Siro that will double his earnings to around £600,000 per season.
Neither club has released a statement to confirm the deal at this stage, but Taider is said to have signed a contract and carried out a medical with Inter.
