Inter: Balanta farther. Juve: mission for Nastasic
As reported earlier today, Inter Milan want to reinforce their defense, and are trying to sign on permanent basis 28-year-old Rolando, last season on loan from FC Porto; the nerazzurri are also thinking about other options, like River Plate 21-year-old Eder Balanta, but, according to Radio Marca, Lazio have overtaken all their competitors in the hunt for the Colombia international. In any case, as outlined by calciomercato.com, the Lombard club’s transfer market campaign is having some problems, as their attacking midfielder Ricky Alvarez doesn’t want to leave, as perhaps confirmed by the Argentina international to FcInternews; on the contrary, who seems henceforth intended to quit “San Siro” is –as outlined by the Corriere dello Sport- 34-year-old defender Hugo Armando Campagnaro, who has been offered to AS Roma, while the agent of 25-year-old winger Ezequiel Schelotto will meet today Inter’s Sports Director Piero Ausilio to talk about his client’s transfer to Southampton. In the mid time, 28-year-old striker Pablo Daniel Osvaldo has passed the medicals, while 27-year-old midfielder Gary Medel has arrived at “Linate” international airport. Also Juventus are seeking a defender, and their main target for such position remains Manchester City 21-year-old Matija Nastasic; according to Tuttosport, the bianconeri have sent their agents to England to speed-up the negotiation with the Citizens for the Serbia international, with whom they already have an agreement.
