Awaiting for an answer from their president Massimo Moratti regarding the intention of the Indonesian tycoon Erick Thohir to buy part of the club’s shares, Inter Milan executives are extremely active on the transfer market: the nerazzurri are seeking a skilled and experienced forward, after having carried out, as reported yesterday, the negotiation for Sampdoria 20 year old Mauro Icardi, but, according to the Corriere dello Sport, will probably have to compete with city rivals AC Milan to obtain Paris Saint-Germain 28 year old Ezequiel Lavezzi. Important changes are expecting the Lombard team regarding the midfield, where, as highlighted by calciomercato.com. 26 year old Fredy Guarin could be yielded, as he doesn’t seem to have coach Walter Mazzarri’s confidence: for the Colombia international there are at the moment no concrete offers, but Inter would like to earn about 16 million euros, the amount needed to sign Catania 28 year old attacking midfielder Pablo Barrientos. Meanwhile, Juventus 23 year old Luca Marrone has told Tuttosport that he would agree a transfer to the nerazzurri but that at the moment this cannot be considered a credible option. Reagrding the defense, the Lombard club, according to the same media, are observing the situation of Sporting CP 23 year old Marcos Rojo, who could replace 25 year old Andrea Ranocchia if this latter would be disqualified by the Italian federation; meanwhile, 35 year old Walter Samuel, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport, has extended his deal until June 2014.

As reported yesterday, Juventus keep on tracking Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain but the Merengues’president Florentino Perez has replied to the latest declarations released by the Argentina international by stating that he is not on the market: according to Sportitalia transfer market expert Alfredo Pedullà the Spanish club’s number one is trying to start an auction for the 25 year old, also considering the fact that this latter has expressed his agreement for an eventual transfer to Arsenal.
