According to French reports, Leonardo is determined to rejoin Inter and the idea went down well with President Massimo Moratti.

The Nerazzurri patron is tempted to reconfirm Stramaccioni on their bench with Leonardo taking the duties of Director of Sports.

So the new era at the club could be built on these two men, who have gained the faith of Moratti over the years.

In the meantime, Cristian Chivu could renew his contract with Inter following a meeting between his agent Becali and Marco Branca.

Castellazzi, Cordoba and Samuel could also stay in San Siro while Inter could permanently secure the services of Mauro Zarate and Fredy Guarin for an overall fee of €16M.

• Nesta leaves Milan for New York

The transfer saga regarding the Italian defender could be finally over. After being linked to Juventus and considering a new contract with Milan, Alessandro Nesta is set to join the New York Red Bulls.

Despite receiving calls from Andrea Pirlo, who invited him to join the Bianconeri, Nesta has decided that it would be best for him to leave Serie A.

In the MLS, he would become a teammate of Thierry Henry.

Nesta will be a free agent in June and the Red Bulls have offered him a remunerative contract, which the player, in agreement with his family, has decided not to miss out on.
