Inter Milan coach Andrea Stramaccioni seems to have passed his first “exam”, i.e. the Europa League game against Cluj, but even before the match, the Lombard club’s Sports Director Piero Ausilio has declared to Mediaset Premium calcio that the 36 year old is the right man for the nerazzurri. In any case, Inter keep on working to reinforce their team for the next season, and, according to Maxifoot.fr, the nerazzurri are in competition with their city rivals AC Milan for Lyon 19 year old center back Samuel Umtuti; the Lombard club keeps also on tracking Bologna 29 year old attacking midfielder Alessandro Diamanti, who, according to Sky transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio, preferes to move to “San Siro” than to Zenit St. Petersburg. On the contrary, according to Habertürk, the Lombard club has renounced to Fenerbahçe 29 year old midfielder Raul Meireles, while Muhamad Sakic, agent of Velez Sarsfield right back Gino Peruzzi has declared to TMW that, for the moment, his client won’t leave his actual club.

As reported earlier today, Juventus are keen on Torino 24 year old defender Angelo Ogbonna, but, according to the Daily Mail, Arsenal have sent their agents to Turin to observe the Italy international. Moreover, also the bianconeri, still according to Maxifoot, are keen on two OL players, 22 year old midfielder Clément Grenier and 21 year old forward Alexandre Lacazette.
