As reported by CM.com’s Fabrizio Romano, there is work in progress. Inter is still studying a deal from Brazil, after Gabigol they continue to fish from the Santos pond. Thus far positive contacts are being made between the clubs to bring Lucas Lima to Italy. The 27 year old Brazilian attacking midfielder has already been followed by many important clubs, and importantly, his contract expires in December. For this reason he remains a hot player on the market and one which Inter has been negotiating for in recent days, even with hopes to bring in the player for free in January.

OPTIONS - Lucas Lima has given his all clear for a move to Inter, but now the two clubs will have to find a deal. Barcelona has also made an advancement for the player; in Spain he has been admired for a long time. Even British clubs have activated an interest and there is a risk of pushing up his cost. But Walter Sabatini and Piero Ausilio approve Lucas Lima, and they hope to close soon.
