Inter: Sagna farther. Juve: Osvaldo on permanent basis?
One of Inter Milan’s priorities for the next season remains the signing of a new full back, and, as well known, one of their main targets for such position remains 30 year old Bacary Sagna, whose contract with Arsenal will expire at the end of the current season; but, to obtain the France international, the nerazzurri, in addition to Paris Saint-Germain, will also have to compete with Barcelona, who, according to CaughtOffside, are ready to make an offer to the former Auxerre player. Inter are also seeking a forward and, as well as city rivals AC Milan, are interested in Hoffenheim 23 year old Roberto Firmino, but, according to the Sunday People, also Liverpool, Juventus and Manchester United are interested in the Brazilian player; meanwhile, the Lombard club, according to Record, is ready to offer 15 million euros to Manchester United to obtain 25 year old Javier “Chicarito” Hernandez. Regarding the possible departures, 24 year old attacking midfielder Ricky Alvarez seems intentioned to quit “San Siro” at the end of the season, while, on the contrary, Marcelo Ferreyra, agent of 26 year old midfielder Fredy Guarin, has confirmed to calciomercato.com to be in Milan to talk about his client’s renewal. Serie A defending champions Juventus are evaluating the possibility to sign on permanent basis 28 year old forward Pablo Daniel Osvaldo, actually on loan from Southampton: if they will decide to keep the Italy international, the bianconeri will have to pay to The Saints an important amount, and that will be possible only if they will succeed in selling 30 year old Mirko Vucinic, same-aged Fabio Quagliarella and 26 year old Sebastian Giovinco.
