Ricky Alvarez is Inter's first great acquisition for next season. The official announcement should arrive today or tomorrow. Inter representatives are in Argentina to negotiate with Velez and close the deal at 11 million euro. Born in 1988, Alvarez is a quarterback who can also play as a winger in Gasperini's 4-3-3. His arrival could facilitate the transfer of Wesley Sneijder, attracted by Manchester United.

The Dutch ace has not sworn eternal love to Inter and if there were to be an important offer from England he would be trasferred, despite the denials. To keep him at Inter against his will would be detrimental to the team who needs motivation to return big in Italy and Europe.
