INTER SET FOR VIDIC

Posted on by admin

Shelling out an approximate 20 million pounds, Inter Milan is all set to bag the ace centre, Nemanja Vidic. The international footballer from Serbia is being welcomed by San Siro, for a three year stretch contact which is costing Inter Milan 20 million dollars. Vidic’s contract with Old Trafford was expiring this summer as he signs his new deal.

This thirty two year old centre back is expected to earn 6 million pounds a year with Seria A, now that the £20m has been put on table. With him gone from Old Trafford, Man United boss David Moyes will need to work hard to find a replacement for Vidic.

Manchester United got Vidic way back in 2006 with 7 million pounds from Spartak Moscow. It is quite likely that along with his departure, Moyes may also face with the loss of talent in the form of Patrice Evra and Rio Ferdinand from the team.

Defender Patrice Evra has been reported to be in conversation with Piero Ausilion, Inter Mialn’s sporting director this week in London and might leave Old Trafford along with Nemanja Vidic, end of this summer. The thirty two year old defender’s contract with Manchester United ends in 30th June this year post which he will be made available for auction in the typical Bosman style transfer.

Meanwhile, ex Inter Milan, Jose Mourinho seems to be all set to be back to the club if Roman Abramovich chooses to let him go from Chelsea. He comments that at the moment he is pretty happy to be with Chelsea, but there is a good chance that in the forthcoming time Abramovich might decide to let him go. If that happens he will chose none but Inter among all Italian clubs.

STRUGGLING

Posted on by admin

Inter Milan’s latest victory in the Serie A was during their match against Ac.Milan as they played on December 22 and from there on out they have only been able on getting negative results. Suffering losses against Lazio and Udinese as well as having to settle to a 1-1 draw against Chievo Verona.

Even though it’s expected that the new owner of the club Erick Thohir will start investing on the club with fresh signings, the Indonesian billionaire has already stated that in order for him to sign new players into the team they will have to offload some of their own before bringing in new ones.

Fredy Guarin is considered to be one of the best midfielders that Inter Milan has to offer at the moment but the Colombian player is being heavily linked with a move away from the Italian club as many other top European clubs are interested in signing him.

The midfield and defence zone of Inter Milan have been the most critized in this season with Jonathan and Yuto Nagatomo are proving their worth at the wing back positions but the same cannot be said for Ranocchia and Juan Jesus who have hit rough patches and cannot seem to understand the schemes that Walter Mazzarri is trying to implement in Inter Milan.

Moving up into the midfielders, Esteban Cambiasso is nearing the end of his career and a replacement would be a wise decision for them to make. Daniele de Rossi is easily one of the best defensive midfielders in the Serie A and a substantial offer from Erick Thohir can tempt As.Roma on selling the Italian midfielder.

When Erick Thohir was questioned about the recent struggles that Inter Milan was going through he responded by saying that the club is entering a ‘’period of transition’’

“We are now entering a period of transition,” Thohir said.

“Ideally, the average player should be aged between 24 and 26 years. This does not mean that the heroes of the 2010 treble are not appreciated, but it is clear that even younger players must be incorporated into the squad.
