Internazionale Main Thread

Did we sell Biabiany outright to parma? What the heck is happening, wasn't he one of the interesting prospects along with fatic and bonucci.

We sold Aqua and he scoring for fun in the U21 championship.

The only clubs who can afford Maicon are Chelsea,Man City,Man U and Madrid. Madrid have bought Abidol from Valencia so Ramos would be moving to RB. Man U dont seem to have any interest and I dont see Ferguson spending 40m on a RB when he has two gaping holes to fill with Ronaldo's and Tevez's departure. I think Maicon would rather stay at Inter than go to Man City. Chelsea are the only one left and I still can't reason why they want Maicon when Bosingwa had a great season. At the end, I think it's all talk and nothing will come out of it.

No bids for Cassano

Sampdoria General Manager Beppe Marotta has revealed he is yet to receive any offers for Antonio Cassano.

The 26-year-old second striker had another excellent season last year and is being linked with Inter.

“We have not received any requests for Cassano and we are not sorry about it,â€

Vieira close to PSG

Inter midfielder Patrick Vieira could be waving goodbye to Italy this summer and saying hello to Paris Saint Germain.

The 33-year-old suffered a series of niggling injuries last season and no longer figures in Jose Mourinho's long term plans.

Paris Saint Germain are willing to pay between £6m and £7m for the France international.

Vieira is said to be interested in the move because his friend Claude Makelele also plays for PSG.

The only obstacle in the way of a deal is Vieira's contract, which is way too high for the French outfit.

However, Vieira is apparently willing to take a pay cut and leave Inter despite still having a year to run on his current deal.

Manchester United And Real Madrid To Launch Bidding War For Benzema - Report

The two old foes are prepared to clash in the transfer market again...

Real Madrid and Manchester United could be involved in another transfer showdown, this time over Karim Benzema.

According to the Daily Mail, both clubs are desperate to sign the French international, having given up on their other targets. Zinedine The Bald Algerian is at the forefront of Madrid's push, although their extravagant spending in the Kaka and Cristiano Ronaldo deals means that they will not be paying over the odds.

Sir tender Alex Ferguson, meanwhile, has asked Lyon to name a realistic price for the player. According to the Daily Star, Manchester United are preparing a bid of around €30 million, a deal which Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas is keen to accept, with a move for Lisandro Lopez already in the pipeline.

It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will consider improving on Man United's offer.

Inter President Moratti: Zlatan Ibrahimovic Has Taken Himself Off The Market

Inter president Massimo Moratti believes Zlatan Ibrahimovic will be staying at the club after the striker claimed his future is at the San Siro.

Earlier this week 'Ibra' told Expressen that his future is with the Nerazzurri following speculation linking him with a move to Barcelona. Moratti has taken confidence from the striker's words and he feels the powerful hitman will not be leaving this summer. Moratti was also backed up by director Lele Oriali.

"There have not been any convincing proposals so far [for Ibrahimovic]. I read the interview and it seems he has taken himself off the market," Moratti is quoted as saying in La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

"It seems as if Ibrahimovic is staying close to the club. Sometimes it's the agents who control the players."

Oriali also backed Moratti's claims, telling Telelombardia his feelings over both Ibrahimovic and Maicon.

"Maicon and Ibrahimovic will not leave, like I have always said," stated the director.

Both men have been heavily linked with lucrative exits recently, but the voices coming from Via Durini suggest they are staying.

Ok, glad that's out of the way. Anyone heard anything about Arnautovic's second medical that was supposed to have happened yesterday or today?

Also, Vieira and Obinna are almost gone; happy to see Mou swinging the axe hard.

Mazzola: Milito best signing

Inter legend Sandro Mazzola believes that Diego Milito is the best signing of the transfer market so far.

Mazzola is delighted the Nerazzurri have done so well so soon with the capture of the Argentinean as well as Genoa teammate Thiago Motta.

“In my opinion Milito is the best signing,â€

Motta has European dream

Inter midfielder Thiago Motta dreams of the Champions League and believes his side now have what it takes to win the competition.

The Nerazzurri signed the 26-year-old Brazilian from Genoa earlier this month.

Motta arrived in Italy last summer, having spent his entire career in Spain.

He won the Champions League with Barcelona in 2006 only to be told he was no longer needed.

Some thought he was finished after he left the Blaugrana, but an excellent campaign with Genoa last season has put the doubters to rest.

“It's true, I want to return to win the Champions League. This is the reason I am at Inter and for this reason I found the strength to leave Genoa,â€

Ledesma wants Lazio exit

Cristian Ledesma's agent insists the Lazio midfielder will not be at the Stadio Olimpico next season.

The Argentinian has made no secret of his desire to leave Lazio in search of a more prestigious club, and has been linked with the likes of Inter Milan and Fiorentina.

However, Vincenzo D'Ippolito has revealed that Juventus are in pole position to sign his client as their attempts to land Udinese's Gaetano D'Agostino have hit numerous stumbling blocks.

"I give it as certain that Cristian won't be at Lazio next year," he told Lalaziosiamonoi.it

"We have talked with Juventus but the bianconeri are still deciding what to do with D'Agostino, after which if they give up on the Udinese midfielder they will think about Ledesma."

D'Ippolito also claims AC Milan are equally as interested in Ledesma as a possible replacement for Andrea Pirlo, who continues to be linked with a move to Chelsea.

He added: "We don't care about being second choice also because we are still in contact with another club of the same level as Juve who want Cristian.

"I'm talking about Milan.

"At Milan it's clear that if Pirlo leaves the first choice is Ledesma, so Cristian will go to either Juve or Milan.

"At this point we have to wait for some developments in the market linked to Milan and Juve, but about the future of the player I have only one certainty and I'll repeat it, that he won't play any more at Lazio."

Lazio have slapped a 15 million euro ($A26.14million) transfer fee on the 26-year-old who has been a key player for the Biancocelesti since joining from Lecce in 2006.
