"Lucas? He has great talents, we like him, but at this stage you can't buy everyone you like. But we will try to take steps forward, we will try to materialize”. From the retreat in Pinzolo, after seeing his Inter strolling on the Representative Trentino (6-0, hat-trick from Milito), the Nerazzurri president officially launched the assault on the Brazilian tightrope walker. Piero Ausilio's trip to South America served to prepare the ground for the upcoming double blow: Paulinho and, indeed, Lucas.
But if the situation of the first is well underway (we'll talk about it shortly), that of the second is more difficult, both for the price (the president of San Paolo wants at least 30 million), and for the competition, which could even increase after the Olympic Games. Meanwhile, a Nerazzurri offer of 25 million plus Coutinho is filtering through Brazil, which would however have been rejected to the sender. Actually, before attempting the lunge on Lucas Sneijder, Maicon and Pazzini must be sold, which would bring a nice treasure to be reinvested on the market. From Russia they say they are certain that Anzhi will shortly come forward with a maxi offer, which could make Moratti hesitate. “I don't know if there is this possibility, I think Wesley is a crucial player for Inter, beyond the attentions of other clubs. maicon? He is among the strongest and we are very close, but we will see….”. In short, an open door for everyone, even more so for Pazzini, who was excluded from the friendly yesterday. “He's an invaluable player – said the Nerazzurri president – when he's well he scores repeatedly. Sometimes, however, there are technical and tactical needs that put players in a position to be bought or sold." A sentence of assignment to which the "Crazy" was very prepared. In recent days, his agents have been spotted in Corso Vittorio Emanuele, looking for a solution for the attacker's future. The return to Sampdoria is unlikely to materialize, it is easier to set up an operation with Lazio, who would like the player on loan with the right to buy.
Going back to the purchasing sector, the Paulinho deal is close to closing. Ausilio closed with the Audax fund for 8 million, now there is no agreement with Banca BMG, which would like the payment of further commissions: it is probable that we can close for 500 thousand/1 million, pace of Corinthias, owner of only 10% of the tag. In addition to the Brazilian, Poli should also return to the Nerazzurri, currently separated at home with Sampdoria, who have not called him up for training camp. Yesterday the Sampdoria carried out a poll for Jonathan, who has returned to Inter after his loan spell at Parma. The Brazilian could prove to be the right key to get to Poli.
