Although the report doesn't specify the figures, Inter have included a sell-on clause in their offer to Cremonese.
Indeed, it would allow the Serie A newcomers to collect 20% from any future transfer fee.
Therefore, the deal looks likely to go through soon.
However, Stuckler will not join the first team. Instead, he will link up with Vecchi's side, which will compete in Serie C next term.
Born in 2004, Stuckler is an out-and-out striker.
Last season, he netted 16 goals for Giana in Serie C, meaning he already knows what to expect.

Son Heung-min says LAFC 'changed my heart' after MLS unveiling
Son Heung-min admitted that LAFC was initially 'not my first choice' as he sought a new club earlier this year, but said Wednesday that LAFC general manager John Thorrington 'changed my mind' on their very first phone call after Son's 10th and final season with Tottenham concluded this spring. 'He changed my heart, he changed my brain,' Son said at an introductory news conference in Los Angeles. 'He showed me the destination where I should be.' Advertisement And, after saying he was 'more than happy' to be here, Son promised: 'I'm here to win … I will perform, and I will definitely show you something exciting. And we definitely will have success.' Son arrived in Southern California on Tuesday to finalize a deal that now stands as the most expensive inbound transfer in MLS history. He took in LAFC's Leagues Cup game against Tigres, a 2-1 win on Tuesday night, from a BMO Stadium suite. He received a warm and raucous reception from supporters when he was shown on stadium video boards and welcomed as an 'LAFC forward.' He reciprocated with applause, and said a day later: 'I just wanted to run onto the pitch and show my performance.' Wednesday, though, was his official unveiling. A couple hours after Tottenham and LAFC both announced the deal, his likeness beamed off LAFC HQ outside the stadium, alongside a welcome message in three languages: Korean, English and Spanish. Inside the stadium's Field Club, he was welcomed to a stage by chanting supporters, The 3252. He sat alongside Thorrington and LAFC managing owner Bennett Rosenthal, in front of media and various 'special guests,' including Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass, who called the signing 'a moment that will be remembered in the city for generations to come' and 'officially' declared Son 'an Angeleno.' More than 20 minutes into the event, when Son finally got a chance to speak, he called the occasion a 'dream come true.' 'LA,' he said, 'what a city.' One of the attractions was the estimated 320,000 Koreans who live in greater Los Angeles. Son said he was 'so, so excited seeing all the Korean fans outside.' There were also many thousands watching from afar, including on YouTube, where Korean comments peppered the online chat seemingly every second. Many of the introductions and remarks onstage were translated into Korean by an interpreter. Advertisement When asked why he signed with LAFC — on a deal through 2027, with options for 2028 and the first half of 2029, according to the club — Son said through the interpreter that there were 'many reasons,' and the strength of the local Korean community was one of them. 'As a Korean, to know that Koreatown here in Los Angeles has so many Koreans, here in this country, I'm very proud to be a part of the club and the city,' he said through the interpreter. 'And I'll make them proud with my performance.' Son had previously announced his departure from Tottenham. At a news conference last weekend in Korea, ahead of Tottenham's preseason game in Seoul, he called it 'the most difficult decision I have made in my career.' The 'main reason' for it, he explained, 'is that I have achieved everything I can at Tottenham. I need a new environment for a fresh challenge.' At the time, he did not say where he'd find that fresh challenge. Wednesday was his first chance to explain why he picked LAFC (over interest from Saudi Arabia, and perhaps elsewhere). He said that Hugo Lloris, his former teammate and captain for nine seasons at Tottenham, helped recruit him. 'Hugo was helping and advising about how great Los Angeles is,' Son said. But he clarified that he is not just here to enjoy the city. 'Obviously I'm here to perform,' Son said. 'But also I want to give some advice to the young players for improvement.' He is 33 years old, and struggled over the latter half of the 2024-25 season. 'I think we can say I'm old,' he said with a hint of a smile. 'But I still have good physicality, good legs, and still I have good quality.' He later added in Korean, via an interpreter: 'My fitness is great, as I just went through preseason. I came here to play soccer, and I'm ready to play. But there's some preparation work to be done, and I'll work with the coaching staff and others to get on the pitch as soon as possible. Advertisement 'Just because I had a successful career in Europe, doesn't mean I will do here. So, I want to see this as a new challenge, and do my best. All that I've received, I want to give back to the ownership and the team and the club, and do the best I can, and leave when the time comes as a legend of the club.' Son, upon receipt of his P-1 visa, should be eligible to debut this Saturday against the Chicago Fire (8:30 p.m. ET, Apple MLS Season Pass). With LAFC's next three games on the road, his home debut won't come until September at the earliest — either Sept. 1 vs. San Diego FC or Sept. 21 vs. Real Salt Lake. LAFC currently sits in sixth place in the Western Conference, 10 points behind San Diego, but with two or three games in hand on each of the five teams above it. It is in position to qualify for the playoffs, and perhaps to contend for MLS Cup — which would be the fifth trophy in the club's eight-year history.

Son Heung-min admits Los Angeles FC move was not his first choice
Son Heung-min admitted Los Angeles FC were not his first choice destination after he ended a 10-year stay at Tottenham but insisted they had 'changed his heart' on a record Major League Soccer transfer. The 33-year-old on Wednesday completed a move worth in excess of £20million – the highest transfer fee paid by an MLS club – after it was revealed on Saturday he would be leaving Spurs following 173 goals in 454 appearances and months after he captained the club to Europa League glory. At an introductory press conference in Los Angeles, the South Korea international admitted he had to be persuaded of the merits of moving to the United States before signing an initial two-year deal. 'They've been absolutely working so hard to get me here to join LAFC,' Son said. 'If I'm honest it was not my first choice but John (Thorrington, LAFC general manager) was the first call when the season finished and John changed my mind, he changed my heart. 'I'm so happy to see all the Korean fans, I was at the game and I saw you supporting like crazy and I wanted to run on the pitch and show my performance. I'm here to win and I will perform. 'I will definitely show you something exciting in… are we calling it football or soccer? I will definitely show you some exciting football and we will have success.' Son added that the decision to leave Spurs had left him feeling 'very empty'. 'I felt like I gave it all, but I felt like I needed a new chapter and new challenge and I chose LAFC. I'm old but I still have good physicality, good legs and I still have good quality.' Earlier Son had issued an heartfelt message to Tottenham fans on making the 'hardest decision ever' to leave north London. 'How to find the right words for this? I don't know. I have been thinking for days. It's impossible. But here I go,' Son wrote. 'It's time for me to say goodbye to Tottenham Hotspur. My home for the past decade. When I arrived in 2015, I didn't speak English, I didn't know London, but you welcomed me with open arms, believed in me, and stood by me through every high and low. 'I was just a boy from Korea with big dreams who was supposed to have no chance. And now, 10 years later, North London is in my heart forever. 'I've made friends for life here, had the honour of becoming a godfather here, and had the privilege of captaining our special club here. I've poured my heart and soul into this club, which makes this the hardest decision ever. 'I thought if I was ever going to leave, it would have to be on my terms, on the best terms, when our mission had been accomplished together. With pride and honour.' Son joined Spurs in 2015 from Bayer Leverkusen. Alongside old partner in crime Harry Kane, Son holds the record for the most goal involvements by a duo in the Premier League, with the pair assisting each other on a record 47 occasions in the competition. Son's performance helped turn Tottenham into title contenders when they finished second in the Premier League under Mauricio Pochettino in 2017, finishing as runners-up in the Champions League two years later. After Kane left for Bayern Munich, Son became Spurs captain under Ange Postecoglou, lifting the Europa League trophy in May – having come off the bench in the final against Manchester United, a 1-0 Spurs win, after an injury-affected campaign. The popular South Korean will renew acquaintances with Hugo Lloris and move to Los Angeles, which boasts one of the largest Korean populations in the world, ahead of next summer's World Cup in the United States.

Darwin Nunez will receive staggering salary hike upon Liverpool exit
Uruguayan forward Darwin Nunez is officially an Al-Hillal forward after Liverpool agreed to sell the mercurial 26-year-old to the Saudi Arabian side for €53 million ($61.8 million) plus add-ons. Nunez entered the season on the same contract and wage structure as when he signed with Liverpool for an initial fee of £64.1 million ($85.5 million) from Benfica in 2022. With Al-Hillal, the 26-year-old is set to see his new contract nearly triple from around a reported £140,000-a-week ($147,000) with the Reds to £400,000-a-week ($534,000) with his new side, according to TalkSport. Per Spotrac, Nunez ranked 10th amongst the top Liverpool earners last season, behind the likes of the since-departed Trent Alexander-Arnold. READ MORE: Darwin Nunez fee agreed as Liverpool set to take hit on transfer exit READ MORE: Liverpool transfer news LIVE: Isak misses training, Barcola move 'considered', Nunez exit looms Al-Hillal reportedly bid a higher quantity for Nunez in the January transfer window, but Reds boss Arne Slot was not keen to use a key attacking option with his side still in a title race at that point. He was linked to Napoli, the reigning Serie A champion, earlier in the 2025 summer window. Antonio Conte's spendthrift side ultimately decided to stay within the country for a forward, plucking Lorenzo Lucca from Udinese. Nunez will finish his Liverpool career with 40 goals in 143 competitive appearances for the side. Since his 2022 arrival, he's hit the post more times (14) than any other player in the Premier League. The Uruguayan certainly had a penchant for scoring timely winners, highlighted by his stoppage time stunners on the road against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest during the 2023/24 campaign. Nunez will join an Al-Hillal side possessing brand names from across Europea over the last half-decade, including the talented Serbian duo of striker Aleksandar Mitrovic and midfielder Sergej Milinkovic-Savic. The Saudi outfit has already made a big splash in the 2025 summer window, signing French international fullback Theo Hernandez from AC Milan. Liverpool has also replaced Nunez with forward Hugo Ekitike from Eintracht Frankfurt and may put a cherry on top of an expensive window with the further signing of Alexander Isak from Newcastle.
