As explained earlier, the three Italian giants are working to reinforce their midfield, and Inter Milan seem to have a new chance to obtain a player that they have been tracking for a long time, Corinthians 24 year old Paulinho: according to Tuttosport, after that his club has been eliminated from the Copa Libertadores, the Brazil international could ask the Timao to let him move to Europe; but, as reported yesterday, to obtain the Club World Cup winner, the nerazzurri would probably have to yield 26 year old Fredy Guarin, tracked by Tottenham; and, as highlighted by calciomercato.com, it seems difficult that coach Andrea Stramaccioni will accept to loose the Colombia international, who, on the contrary, should become one of the cornerstones of his team for the next season. The Lombard club is also seeking a more offensive player, and if they will fail in signing Partizan Belgrade 18 year old Lazar Markovic, will probably swoop on Catania 25 year old Alejandro Gomez; the Sicilian club’s president Antonino Pulvirenti has revealed to be also in talk with Atletico de Madrid, but he is probably just trying to put some pressure on Inter, who, in any case, already have an agreement with the Argentine player. 

Earlier this afternoon, Sky transfer market expert Gianluca Di Marzio has declared that Juventus, in addition to Real Madrid 25 year old Gonzalo Higuain and Fiorentina 23 year old Stevan Jovetic, were also keen on Manchester City 29 year old Carlos Tevez; but, as reported by Le10Sport, the Argentina international and his agent have already met Monaco’s owners, and the players has already agreed to move to the French club.
