Carpi Pushing To Close Deal For Joel Obi But Face Competition

According to reporting by Sky Sport Italia, Nigeria international Joel Obi is on the radar of newly promoted Serie A side Carpi.

The higher - ups at the Biancorossi are pushing to close a deal for the Inter Milan player in the summer transfer window.

And they are mulling whether to acquire his whole economic rights from Inter Milan or snap him up on a season long loan.

Carpi will compete with fellow Serie A newcomers Frosinone for the signature of the attacking midfielder.

Though Joel Obi is under contract with Inter Milan until June 30, 2017, a departure from the San Siro is not out of topic following his lack of first team opportunities.

In the last three seasons, the 24 - year - old has made only 7 starts for Inter Milan in the top flight.
