Inter Milan are also working to enforce their defense, and, as reported a few days ago, FC Porto 27 year old Rolando seems intended to join them at the end of the season, but, according to transfer market expert Alfredo Pedullà, Napoli are ready to compete with the nerazzurri for the Portugal international; in the last hours, the Romanian media GSP has reported that Inter have joined city rivals AC Milan in the hunt for Steaua Bucharest 23 year old Vlad Chiriches, but, interviewed by IlSussidiario.net, the player’s agent Victor Becali has declared that he never had any contacts with the nerazzurri. The real priority for the Lombard club, as sublined by calciomercato.com, remains the signing of a midfielder, and Corinthians 24 year old Paulinho seems to be the ideal option; the alternative to the Brazil international could be FC Porto 27 year old Fernando. Regarding the offensive line, also Palermo, as admitted by their president Maurizio Zamparini, are keen on Genoa 30 year old Marco Borriello, while, according to Blick, Young Boys seem intentioned to yield 25 year old Raul Bobadilla.

Interesting declarations released to Sky Sport 24 by AC Milan Chief Executive Adriano Galliani just before flying to Brazil: the rossoneri’s number two has confirmed that there are two negotiations going on for 23 year old Alexandre Pato and 28 year old Robinho and that both forwards are intentioned to move back to their homecountry. Galliani has also said that it will be very difficult to sign 21 year old striker Mario Balotelli, expecially for financial reasons.
