Inter have bought 23-year-old Yanis Massolin for a reported €8m (including add-ons) but he'll stay at Modena on loan until season’s end. Betting note: short-term markets for Inter’s creativity or goal returns are unlikely to change, but futures — Massolin to score or start for Inter next season — could see shortened odds if he impresses during his loan spell.
Inter complete Yanis Massolin transfer, but loans him back to Modena
Inter Milan have officially secured midfielder Yanis Massolin in a deal reported to reach €8m with add-ons. The 23-year-old will remain on loan at Modena for the remainder of the season after the transfer was confirmed on deadline day.
Deal details and contract
The formal upfront fee is reported at around €3.5m, with performance-related bonuses potentially taking the total to €8m. Massolin has signed a contract running until June 2030. Modena originally acquired him in July 2025 for about €700,000.
Player profile and recent form
Massolin is a creative midfielder who can also operate on the right wing. He has dual French and Martinique citizenship and brings experience from spells in Switzerland, France and Belgium. This season he has made 15 competitive appearances across Serie A and the Coppa Italia, scoring once and providing two assists.
What the signing means for Inter
Inter view Massolin as a long-term investment as midfield veterans edge toward the latter stages of their careers. Keeping him at Modena for the rest of the season suggests the club sees value in regular game time to aid his development before integrating him into the first team.
Betting implications
In the short term, markets on Inter’s immediate attacking output or creative statistics are unlikely to react strongly because Massolin remains on loan. However, futures and player-specific markets (e.g., Massolin to score for Inter next season, or to become a regular starter) could tighten if he posts strong performances at Modena, making those bets more attractive to punters who monitor his loan progress.
