It seems always more difficult for Inter Milan to sign Sao Paulo attacking midfielder Lucas Moura. Interviewed by Radio Estadao ESPB, the Brazilian club's president Joao Paulo de Jesus Lopez has confirmed that Manchester United are keen on the 19 year old, and has said that the player for the moment will remain in Brazil but has not excluded a new contact with the Red Devils. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, if they will fail on signing the Brazil national, the nerazzurri will swoop on FC Porto 24 year old Fernando. A new idea for Inter's midfield could be, according to Tuttosport, Juventus 29 year old Felipe Melo. The bianconeri don't seem too convinced to yield their midfielder to their traditional rivals, but the player is not finding an agreement with Fenerbahçe and, interviewed by TuttoJuve, Spartak Moscow coach Unai Emery has denied to be interested in the former Fiorentina midfielder. Regarding the defense, 31 year old right back Maicon is always more intentionned, according to Marca, to leave the Lombard club to join Real Madrid, and the merengues, to obtain the Brazil national, could offer to the nerazzurri one between Nuri Sahin, Lassana Diarra or Ricardo Kakà. As already reported, to replace Maicon, Inter could move Juto Nagatomo to the right and try to sign Manchester City 26 year old left back Aleksandar Kolarov, but the Citizens'request is still too high for the Italians. Inter are also seeking an attacking midfielder or a winger: according to Il Mattino they have overtaken Napoli in the hunt for Atalanta 23 year old Ezequiel Schelotto, while the real surprise could be, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, 30 year old Antonio Cassano.

Real Madrid forward Ricardo Kakà and Montpellier defender Mapou Yanga M'Biwa seem to be the hottest names for AC Milan. The Lombard club's Chief Executive Adriano Galliani has declared that it will be very difficult to sign the Brazil national, while for the 23 year old it's just a question of money with the French club. According to Marca, the rossoneri have offered 13 million euros to the Spanish club, not enough to obtain the 30 year old, and, in any case, if they will sign on permanent deal their former star, Milan will have to ask the player to reduce his salary. The other option is a loan with part of the salary paid by Real, but the Spanish club doesn't seem too enthusiastic about it. Yesterday there have been also rumours about the possibility for the rossoneri to sign other 2 Real players, 34 year old defender Ricardo Carvalho and 27 year old midfielder Lassana Diarra, but it seems that coach Massimiliano Allegri prefers 30 year old Xabi Alonso to the Frenchman.
