Exclusive: Cancelo will remain an Inter player on one condition

The Portuguese right-back has emerged as one of Luciano Spalletti’s most consistent performers since the turn of the year, prompting sporting director Piero Ausilio to set a meeting with the aforementioned Mendes to discuss the terms of his contract.
The former Benfica youth product earns around €2 million per season, which is a step or two below what the Nerazzurri’s top earners make over the course of 12 months. Indeed, Kwadwo Asamoah is set to join the club on a free transfer from Juventus and will earn a €3 million salary.
While there is not thought to be any real risk of a permanent deal being agreed, senior figures at Appiano Gentile recognise the fact that Cancelo’s performances of late merit a place among the top earners at La Beneamata.
