Inter: no decisions about the new coach. AC Milan: duel with Chelsea for Lopez
Another day of waiting for Inter Milan fans regarding their team’s technical guide for the next season: after meeting General Manager Marco Branca, the Lombard club’s president Massimo Moratti has declared tonight that he will tell the medias when a decision will be made, and earlier today he stated that he has not met the current coach Andrea Stramaccioni because this latter is not feeling well. Meanwhile, the other Inter executives keep on working to reinforce the team for the next season; the nerazzurri are seeking in particular a midfielder, and one of their main targets seems to be FC Porto 25 year old Fernando Francisco Reges: according to O Jogo, the Portuguese club would like to extend O Polvo’s contract, actually expiring in 2014, while, interviewed by FcInternews.it, Antonio Araujo, agent od the Brazilian-born player, has declared that his client would like to leave the Dragões, that Italy, as well as France, Germany and England, would be an agreable destinatuon, but that, for the moment, there have been no contract with the Lombard club. Inter are also seeking a more offensive player, but if Partizan Belgrade 19 year old Lazar Markovic seems about to join Benfica, Montpellier 23 year old Younés Belhanda, according to Midi Libre, could finally move to Fenerbahçe.
Same situation regarding city rivals AC Milan, even if Chief Executive Adriano Galliani has declared through the club’s official website that there are no disagreements with president Silvio Berlusconi regarding the coach for the next season. And the rossoneri’s transfer market policy doesn’t seem to be affected by such situation: according to alfredopedulla.com, for example, Sampdoria 23 year old midfielder Andrea Poli will join whatever coach Massimiliano Allegri will remain or not. Moreover, despite the recent contract extension of 35 year old goalkeeper Christian Abbiati, the Lombard club, as well as Chelsea, have a good chance, as reported by Marca TV, to obtain Real Madrid 31 year old Diego Lopez.
