Both Inter and AC Milan are seeking a new winger, and the two Lombard clubs could have a concrete chance to obtain Benfica 26-year-old Nicolás Gaitán: as reported by Expresso, in fact, due to the bankrupt of Banco Espirito Santo, the Portuguese club will have to face a difficult financial situation, with a 200-million-euros debt, and could need to sell some of its start, like the former Boca Juniors players and his compatriot Eduardo Salvio; on the contrary, it seems always more difficult for the nerazzurri to obtain Hoffenheim 22-year-old Roberto Firmino: interviewed by Bild, in fact, the German club's Sports Director Alexander Rosen has declared that the Brazilian player has three more years on his contract and that he doesn't think that a transfer will be possible during the current transfer window. For what concerns the possible departures, 25-year-old attacking midfielder Rubèn Botta remains a candidate to leave "San Siro"; according to Sky, today some Chievo agents have met the Lombard Club's president Piero Ausilio to ask the Argentine player -perhaps also tracked by Torino, Cagliari and city rivals Hellas Verona- on loan. Also Serie A defending champions Juventus are observing Benfica's situation: the bianconeri are in fact seeking a defender, and one of their main targets for such position is in fact the Aguias 33-year-old Luisao: on the other hand, as reported by O Jogo, the Portuguese club's president is ready to sue the bianconeri to FIFA if they will deal directly with the Brazil international; meanwhile, as reported by The Independent, Arsenal have overtaken the Piedmont's club in the hunt for Olympiacos 23-year-old Kostas Manolas.
