Inter Moving In On Diego - Report
Inter Milan are closing in on the signing of Werder Bremen star Diego, according to Controcampo.
Talk in the Italian press has intensified in recent days that Diego is set to move to the Nerazzurri this summer.
Inter have identified a creative centre midfielder as one of their main transfer targets, and believe that the Brazilian can help them make a big impact in the Champions League.
Controcampo says that Diego’s father and agent has been sneakily declaring in the press that Real Madrid and Juventus are interested in signing his son, so that Inter would have free reign to negotiate a transfer for themselves.
Massimo Moratti, who is also expected to drop out of the race to sign Ronaldinho, is prepared to meet Werder Bremen’s asking price of €30m.
Diego has had a wonderful season in the German Bundesliga, and is his side’s top-scorer with 13 goals.
The 23-year-old is also a regular in the Brazil national team, and has won 34 caps, scoring six goals.
