Inter expect Amantino arrival
Wednesday 18 June, 2008
Roma star Amantino Mancini has packed his bags and is ready to join Inter after the two sides reached an agreement.
The Brazilian talent was inspirational at times last season, but always seemed reluctant to commit his future to the Giallorossi.
Inter have seized the chance to lure the former Venezia forward, who is set to become new Coach Jose Mourinho’s first new recruit.
Personal terms were agreed after a meeting between the player’s agent Gilmar Veloz and Inter director Marco Branca yesterday and Mancini’s five-year spell at the Stadio Olimpico is set to end.
It is still unclear exactly how much money Roma will receive in the deal, but reports suggest that the capital club are determined to take £10m in cash and are refusing any part-exchange.
Sources suggest that a deal could be officially announced within the week.
