TREASURY INTER
After Mario, Maicon will leave. Here is the money for Kuyt and Mascherano. City to be in Milan by tomorrow, then will return for the Brazilian. There is an agreement between Inter and Real Madrid.
Milan - Inter and Real Madrid have come to agreement for Maicon: Florentino Perez will pay Massimo Moratti 28 million plus bonuses. Still missing, however, the agreement between the Spanish club and the 29 year-old Brazilian and the two parties aren't exactly close. The request from Maicon is a four-year contract with at least 6 million per season. Perez is at 5.5 with bonus already included. But the impression is that an meeting will be held within 48 hours.
Balotelli "Mario has not yet signed with Manchester City," said Mino Raiola, Balotelli's agent. But in fact, on Saturday night, the prodigy already assured his friends that everything is done. Balotelli also described his enthusiasm about his new adventures to his close friends. City will be in Milan between today or tomorrow, but the agreement in principle with Inter has been reached a long time ago: 30 million, plus bonuses for a total of about 35 million. It is not impossible that the two clubs decide to close the deal shortly after the friendly match on Saturday.
Tempting savings So like last season, the market for Inter started with big sales. The financial fair-play is firmly planted at Inter, where there is not much room in terms of the level of balance. The treasure of Inter (161.5 million euros) will cover the most on the players' wages. There are a few people at Palazzo Saras trying to convince the Inter president to immediately close the market entry. So no replacements for Balotelli? Well, Biabiany and Coutinho arrived. What about Maicon? It's time for Santon, and there are always services from Zanetti and Chivu, and in addition, there is a promising youngster Faraoni. So in general, even without Maicon and Mario, Inter remain the strongest in Italy. They won't be easy to play against in the Champions League and Inter can bring home the European Super Cup and Club World Cup. So above are the arguments from those who are in favor of saving the money for the "dramatic" economic fair-play which is mandatory within two or three years.
But the President... It is difficult, however, to believe that Massimo Moratti will stop here. The "current savings" can at best be eliminated, but the Inter president want to give his people something important. Meanwhile, Inter have opened the dialogue with Liverpool for Mascherano (who returned yesterday and immediately asked Hodgson to be sold) and Kuyt. For now, there are only telephone contacts but will speed up negotiations later on in the week in England. They are the names on the list of Benitez so we can take away 30 million with Muntari could be included in the deal. But watch out for other temptations of Moratti: Schweinsteiger and Forland, based on their values, Inter can go for at least one of them. Candreva, Asamoah of Udinese and Evra of Manchester United are other names being targeted by Branca.
