Inter inks Mauro Zarate for one-year

Lazio striker Mauro Zarate has joined Inter Milan on loan with a view to a permanent transfer.

The 24-year-old had been expected to remain with Lazio for this season as they had been reluctant to let the striker go out on loan.

Lazio paid 20million euros (£17.7m) to purchase the striker from Al-Sadd in 2008 and wanted to recoup their outlay on the Argentine marksman.

But a compromise has now been reached between the two clubs which will see the Nerazzurri pay a loan fee of 2.7million euros (£2.4m).

Should they decide to sign him permanently, Inter would have to stump up 15million euros (£13.3m) to conclude the deal.
