The goalkeeper leaves Lazio for his boyhood club: three-year contract, nominal fee and a concrete opportunity for Sommer.
Ivan Provedel is set to complete his move to Inter after 32 years as a Nerazzurri fan. The goalkeeper, born in 1994, has agreed terms with Lazio for a €3m transfer, signing a three-year contract that will bind him to the Milan club from next season. Medical tests are scheduled for next week, finalising the deal.
Provedel, who has spent his entire professional career in Serie A, becomes Inter’s first-choice back-up goalkeeper, offering Yann Sommer a high-level alternative without spending a fortune. Financially, the Nerazzurri have played a smart hand. In a mad transfer market where goalkeepers cost an arm and a leg, locking down a Serie A starter for €3m is pure ingenuity.
Inter saves on the books and keeps powder dry to address other gaps, all without compromising bench quality. Technically and psychologically, the move is a double positive. Provedel doesn’t need GPS to find Appiano Gentile: he knows the city, the language and the environment.
Zero adaptation time means zero risk for Inzaghi, who now has a No 2 with the grit of a starter and the experience not to crack under pressure. The club under Simone Inzaghi has secured a reliable, battle-hardened name, ready to step in at a moment’s notice. For Provedel, it’s the realisation of a childhood dream: the goalkeeper has always declared his support for Inter, having grown up in the club’s academy before forging his pro career elsewhere.
The move is a strategic win for both sides. Inter saves precious resources in a market where quality goalkeepers command astronomical fees, while Provedel ends his journey with a prestigious club, gaining stability and the chance to play top-flight football at one of Europe’s most successful teams. Analytically, Provedel’s arrival plugs a gaping hole for Inter’s hierarchy.
After the departures of Emil Audero and Raffaele Di Gennaro, the role of Sommer’s deputy was a top priority. Signing a Serie A starter—with European experience and league knowledge—for a nominal fee perfectly balances sporting need and financial prudence. The wider context sees Lazio facilitate the exit for budgetary reasons and to make way for youngster Christos Mandas.
At 30, Provedel’s move to Inter represents both a professional and emotional peak. It’s not just a change of shirt, but the fulfilment of a path that saw him rise through Inter’s youth ranks before making his name elsewhere—a reminder that football can, at times, bring you home. The goalkeeper shared the news via his social channels: *'It’s an indescribable emotion.
As a boy, I dreamed of wearing this shirt, and today it comes true. '* With the deal set to be finalised, attention now turns to Inter’s next transfer moves. The club must finalise its 2024/25 squad, with a focus on the defensive line and potential attacking reinforcements.
Confirming Provedel as Sommer’s deputy could free up funds for other deals, but the real test will be maintaining competitiveness in the Champions League and domestic league without overhauling the current set-up. Read at Sky Sport Italia

For Provedel, it’s the fulfilment of a boyhood dream and a career-closing move in style. The deal shows how modern football can still reward loyalty and experience without resorting to reckless spending.
