As highlighted yesterday, Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti would like to bring Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho back to “San Siro”; but last night the nerazzurri’s number one has declared that with the 50 year old there have been only some informal convesations, and that the “Special One” could come back one day but not in the next season, when Andrea Stramaccioni should still seat on Inter’s bench. Meanwhile the Lombard club’s executives keep on working to reinforce their team, expecially regarding the midfield: and while Corinthians 24 year old Paulinho has explained that he has refused to join Inter because of his previous European experience, the nerazzurri, according to Sky Sport, are thinking about Napoli 26 year old Luca Cigarini, actually on loan at Atalanta. For what concerns the offensive line, the Lombard club’s interest for Aston Villa 22 year old Christian Benteke seems extremely concrete as the Belgium international seems intentioned to leave the Villans even if they won’t be relegated to the Championship, but Inter, as reported by calciomercato.com, are also in competition with Juventus for PSV Eindhoven 25 year old Dries Mertens: the two clubs are also keen on another Eredivisie player, Ajax 24 year old defender Toby Alderweireld.

In any case, to be really competitive on the market, Juve, as highlighted by La Gazzetta dello Sport, will have to sell some of their players, and the main candidates to leave Turin remain 30 year old forward Fabio Quagliarella, 25 year old midfielder Arturo Vidal and 28 year old forward Alessandro Matri.
