Sandro Becker, agent of Inter Milan defender Lucio has declared to Lancenet that it's time for his client to change team and that a transfer to Brazil is a concrete option. No swap with PSG for Sakho, then, and the nerazzurri, to replace the Brazilian player, are also thinking about Udinese 25 year old Mehdi Benatia. To obtain the Morocco national, Inter could offer to the Friulan club Marco Andreolli, who is about to join from Chievo. Another target remains Palermo 27 year old Matias Silvestre: an eventual negotiation could involve 26 year goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano, actually in co-ownership between the two clubs. The interest for the Argentine center back has been confirmed to Radio Radio by Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini. Still concerning their defensive line, Inter, according to O jogo, are still in talks with FC Porto for 24 year old Nicolas Otamendi.

Also AC Milan are seeking a defender and Stuttgart 30 year old Khalid Boulahrouz has expressed his will to move to the rossoneri. Regarding the midfield, Milan, who have officialezed the signing of Riccardo Montolivo (the Italy national has put pen to paper on a four year deal) and Bakaye Traoré, will have to face Atletico de Madrid in the hunt for Barcelona 30 year old Seydou Keita. On the other hand, the situation of Zlatan Ibrahimovic remains uncertain. According to The Sun, in fact, Manchester City are ready to offer 30 million euros for the Swedish star.
