After snapping up three Real Madrid stars and David Pizarro, Inter have announced they’ll only be selling players from now on.
The club has been heavily linked with Genoa hitman Diego Milito, who is also a prime target for Juventus, Milan and Real Saragozza.
“Our shopping spree is over for this summer,” insisted President Giacinto Facchetti. “We do hope to sell a few players, though.”
There is a list of squad members who are now surplus to requirements following the arrival of Luis Figo, Walter Samuel, Santiago Solari, Pierre Wome and Pizarro.
The first to cut ties with the Nerazzurri will probably be Francesco Coco (pictured), who was allowed to leave the pre-season training camp last week in order to hold negotiations with other clubs.
Talks with Ajax fell apart, but the injury-ravaged full-back is expected to sign for Newcastle United on Tuesday, where he will reunite with former Inter teammate Emre Belozoglu.
Andy van der Meyde was also linked with Ajax, Benfica and Stuttgart, but the Dutchman has so far been unable to find a new club following a disappointing spell at the San Siro.
Cristiano Zanetti is pushed on to the sidelines by the arrival of Pizarro and Solari, while he is a prime target for Juventus. Coach Fabio Capello has been an admirer since their time together at Roma and wishes to bring in another alternative for the midfield partnership of Patrick Vieira and Emerson.
At first they had offered Fabrizio Miccoli in exchange for the Italian international, but now it’s reported the deal will be struck for Igor Tudor.
Inter remain wary of this move, however, as they are still smarting from Fabio Cannavaro’s sudden switch from flop to hero within a year of his move to Turin in a swap deal with goalkeeper Fabian Carini.
