According to Sky Sport Italia, the Newell’s Old Boys’ president Ignacio Astore travelled to Milan to meet Inter directors and assess their bid for the duo.

The Biscione are said to have offered a 12€m package, including lucrative add-ons, to sign both Perez and Silvetti, but while the two parties looked intent on continuing negotiations, there’s still a significant gap that the Serie A giants will try to bridge in the coming days.
