Inter: plan for Motta. AC Milan: sprint for Soares
Inter Milan keep on working to reinforce their midfield, and, as reported in the last days, are also thinking about bringing back to “San Siro” 32-year-old Thiago Motta, whose contract with Paris Saint-Germain will expire in one year: according to the Corriere dello Sport, the nerazzurri are in advanced talks with the Brazilian-born Italian player, and –as reported by the same media and Tuttosport too- are thinking about involving him in the negotiation for the transfer to the Ligue 1 defending champions of one between 28-year-old Fredy Guarin and 29-year-old Hernanes, so that they could obtain from the French club also some money, that could be invested in the hunt for their main target for the midfield, Manchester City 31-year-old Yaya Touré. The Lombard club is also working to reinforce its team’s defense, and, as reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, the head coach Roberto Mancini has confirmed the interest for Guangzhou Evergrande 25-year-old Zhang Linpeng. Moreover, Inter keep on dealing with the situation of their goalkeeper Samir Handanovic, who seems henceforth intended to leave, and, according to the same media, one of the main options for the replacement of the Slovenia international remains Bayern Munich 32-year-old Pepe Reina. As reported yesterday, with the arrival of the new Thai investor Lee Taucheabol, the Doyen Group will be extremely influent inside AC Milan, and one of its players that could join the rossoneri is Sporting CP 24-year-old right back Cedric Soares.
