As reported yesterday, one of Inter Milan’s priorities on the transfer market is the signing of a high-rated midfielder: one of their main target for such position remains Cagliari 25 year old Radja Nainggolan; according to FcInternews.it, the nerazzurri are still hoping to obtain the Belgium international, and are ready to offer to the rossoblu 21 year old goalkeeper Francesco Bardi; the problem is that the Sardinian club would like to obtain the player in co-ownership, while Inter want to talk only about a loan, as they fear that the Italy international could finally move to Juventus; on the contrary, La Gazzetta dello Sport substains that even Nainggolan is too expensive for the Lombard club, that, for this reason, seems now focused on Bologna 21 year old Saphir Taider. The arrival of a new center back, on the contrary, depends from the possible departure of 25 year old Andrea Ranocchia, but the nerazzurri’s executives seem particularly active from this point of view, as confirmed by Basel president Bernard Heusler, who has told the Basler Zeitung to be in talks with the Lombard club for 22 year old Aleksandar Dragovic; Inter, as reported yesterday, keep also on tracking Manchester City 25 year old Micah Richards, but, to obtain the England international they will have to compete, according to the Daily Star, with German giants Bayern Munich.

As anticipated earlier today, Il Sole 24 Ore has edited a news item regarding a possible swap between AC Milan and Fiorentina involving 21 year old Stephan El Shaarawy and 23 year old Stevan Jovetic, both forwards, but the Tuscan club’s Sports Director Daniele Pradé, as reported by Firenzeviola.it, has defined as “science fiction” such possibility, while the rossoneri’s Chief Executive Adriano Galliani has declared that the meeting with Pradé was just a coincidence.
