Genoa president Enrico Preziosi says striker Rodrigo Palacio is close to signing for Inter Milan.

The 30-year-old Palacio is yet to have a medical test at Inter, but Preziosi says: ''Palacio is an Inter player, there's an agreement.''

Inter has tried to get Palacio for two years, according to Preziosi, who also said: ''It was a good deal for both clubs and he doubled his salary.''

Preziosi did not disclose financial details of the deal.
