Inter continue transfer pursuit of new playmaker: all the names
However, as a host of Italian papers point out this morning, Roberto Mancini wants a new playmaker to join the team and there are many midfielders linked with a move to the San Siro in the current transfer window.
According to Tuttosport Ausilio has made contact with Lazio for Lucas Biglia during the Candreva negotiations. Lazio have offered Biglia a new contract with a pay rise from € 1.5 million a year to € 3 million. In other words, convincing the club and the player might be more complicated than expected.
Inter are also battling it out it out with Juventus for Axel Witsel and Luiz Gustavo, though the Old Lady is slightly advantaged as she has already made contact with both players, whilst Inter need to sell some of their outcomes before completing a new signing.
Lassana Diarra, Lucas Leiva and Pescara wonderkid Valerio Verre are also on the nerazzurri’s shortlist.
Davide Santon is the first player that should be leaving the San Siro as the Italian defender underwent medical with West Ham yesterday. Sampdoria will try to sign on a loan deal their former players Ranocchia, Eder and Dodo. Felipe Melo and Jovetic are also up for sale.
